lyrics

Thank god for all the politicians
Don't you shed no salt from your eyes
I thought that I was through
As the shots chewed up my school
But your thoughts and prayers saved my life

Thank god for all the TV pundits
Don't you say a word as the ocean's rise
I was sure that we would drown
When the levees crumbled down
But your thoughts and prayers changed my mind

What’s the power for?
What’s the power for?
What’s the power for?

Thank god for all the chief executives
Buy yourself a thousand dollar wine
My neighbor can't buy dinner
With the minimum wage you give her
But your thoughts and prayers taste just fine

Thank god for all the good policemen
Stand there while your brother opens fire
And when his trial comes around
Ain't no sentence handed down
But your thoughts and prayers will make it right

What’s the power for?
What’s the power for?
What’s the power for?
The powerful

To all our oh so humble leaders
Don't tremble when that reckoning arrives
When the ones you'd tossed aside
Hold the metal to your spine
I hope thoughts and prayers save your life
