Thoughts and Prayers - A COLORS SHOW
Hello stranger, the girl's in danger
But you won't fight hard enough to save her
Said it ain't your issue 'cause it ain't your sister
It ain't your missus
You don't get it, do ya?
'Cause if that were me I would've, ooh
Maybe I would've thought for a second
And said maybe I shouldn't
There's blood on my hands after all, oh God
There's blood on my hands after all
Bow my head, said my prayers
I'm the good one, ain't I?
Wash my hands of all my sins
I'm the good guy, ain't I?
If everyone were like me
Could that be the change I'd like to see?
Ain't I good?
Ain't I right?
Did I try?
But if I care
I'd give more than thoughts and prayers
Said the burden's more than yours to bear
But ego's on my side
Am I as good as I say if I try?
Do we try, we try, we try?
Oh, we try, we try, we try?
Hello partner, the world's got problems
But you won't work hard enough to solve 'em
'Cause you hate Christians and you hate Muslims
And you might kill over race and colour
If that happened to someone that I knew
Then I would've probably laughed at his race jokes when I shouldn't
'Cause there's blood on my hands after all
Blood on my hands after all
Bow my head, said my prayers
I'm the good one, ain't I?
Wash my hands of all my sins
I'm the good guy, ain't I?
If everyone were like me
Could that be the change I'd like to see?
Ain't I good?
Ain't I right?
Did I try?
But if I care
Oh, I'd give more than thoughts and prayers
I said the burden's more than yours to bear, oh yeah
Oh, but ego's on my side
Am I as good as I say if I won't try?
Oh, do we try, do we try, do we try
Oh, oh yeah (do we try?)
Do we try (do we try?)
Sing, do we try, do we try?
Am I as good as say if I don't try?
Bow my head, said my prayers (oh, no, no, no, no)
Wash my hands of all my sins
Said l'd wash it off, I'd wash it off, yeah
Ooh, oh, oh, oh (ooh yeah)
But you won't fight hard enough to save her
Said it ain't your issue 'cause it ain't your sister
It ain't your missus
You don't get it, do ya?
'Cause if that were me I would've, ooh
Maybe I would've thought for a second
And said maybe I shouldn't
There's blood on my hands after all, oh God
There's blood on my hands after all
Bow my head, said my prayers
I'm the good one, ain't I?
Wash my hands of all my sins
I'm the good guy, ain't I?
If everyone were like me

Ain't I good?
Ain't I right?
Did I try?

Ooh, oh, oh, oh (ooh yeah)
