105 Americans will be gunned down today
In the land of the free
And the home of the brave.
40 will be murdered, 65 by their own hand
And 50,000 new guns will flood into this land

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you
To the maimed and departed
This is the price we've agreed to pay
To keep our country guarded

2012 in Sandy Hook
Twenty young people died
And 6 of their teachers
And the whole country cried
20 kids who never saw eight candles on their cakes
20 kids who'll never be kissed on a first date
Some say they're collateral damage
For a higher need we have
To overthrow the government if ever it goes bad

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you
The maimed and departed
This is the price we've agreed to pay
To keep our country guarded

On a beautiful night in Vegas
In the shadow of the Mandalay Bay
With country music playin'
A perfect American day
A thousand rounds rained down that night
Leaving 60 people dead
Hundreds more were wounded
Cut down where they fled
You can blame the founding fathers
For a future they couldn't see
But in every war for freedom there's always casualties.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you
The maimed and departed
This is the price we gotta pay
To keep our country guarded

At a Walmart in El Paso
A kid just twenty-one
Wrote his manifesto
With the barrel of his gun
He hated all Latinos and the mess he thought they'd made
But his headline was a waste of time
Cause a shooter on the very next day
Thirty seconds after opening fire
On the sidewalk he lay cold
Long enough to take the lives of nine in Ohio.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you
To the maimed and departed
This is the price we gotta pay
To keep our country guarded.

Parkland was a name we knew
From the day Kennedy died
We think now of a high school
Where survivors organized
In the name of 17 wounded
And the 17 who died
They went to the White House
And begged for a compromise
They left with the reassurance
New laws would be made
But the next knock on the door that night
Was from the NRA

Thoughts and prayers go out to those
The people we lost today
They've paid the highest price
Anyone of us can pay

Now sometimes we get criticized
By countries North and South
Who think the right to shoot ourselves
Ain't what it's all about
But they weren't born from violence
And the guns that won our lands
They can't see how tough love
Is where we make our stand
We protect our private property
We kill those who'd do us harm
You'll have to pry our cold dead fingers
From the right to bare our arms

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those
Who are grieved and broken hearted
We remember all our heroes
From the clubs and kindergartens

105 Americans will be gunned down today
In the land of the free and the home of the brave.

22 kids get shot today
Eight of 'em don't go home
By murder and by accident
And for reasons no one knows
Mothers inconsolable
Blinded in your grief
Can you find satisfaction
In the sacrifice you leave
We don't remember faces
Or agree what is to blame
Can we ever say your babies
Didn't die in vain
When we look up at the stars tonight
And remember those who've fallen
Be grateful that it wasn`t you
At least until tomorrow
When

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you
To the maimed and departed
This is the price we've agreed to pay
To keep our country guarded
