Lyrics
no thoughts
no prayers
can bring back whats no longer there
the silent
are damned
the body count is on your hands

smile for the camera
another politician bought
i swear i heard another shot
cash another payment
red all on the canvas
it’s murder on the campus
another press conference
nothing gets accomplished
the suit is an accomplice
money is the motive
the war is in the street
watch history repeat

no thoughts
no prayers
can bring back whats no longer there
the silent
are damned
the body count is on your hands
no thoughts
no prayers
can bring back whats no longer there
the silent
are damned
the body count is on your hands

they lobby for the violence
it’s a governmental shakedown
welcome to my breakdown
bulletproof backpacks
they wanna arm the teachers
i think i saw the reaper
fear is good for profit
deregulate the casket
they’re lying to the masses
how much will it take
till you get buried in the coffin that you make heavens sake

no thoughts
no prayers
can bring back whats no longer there
the silent
are damned
the body count is on your hands
no thoughts
no prayers
can bring back whats no longer there
the silent
are damned
the body count is on your hands

turn off all the lights
no body make a sound
ashes to ashes
we all fall down
are we out of time
can we turn this all around
are we out of time
will we all fall
all fall down

-

on your hands, on your
on your hands, on your hands

no thoughts (no thoughts)
no prayers (no prayers)
no thoughts (no thoughts)
the body count is on your hands

no thoughts (no thoughts)
no prayers (no prayers)
no thoughts (no thoughts)
the body count is on your hands

[deanmiller]

his voice sounds just as good without tuning

[dariab]

I love how raw and emotional his movements and expressions are

[grey_aria]

This song gives me chills every time I hear it, and hearing it live brought tears to my eyes.

Keep it up Grandson. This is such a sad and beautiful performance of a song that should have never needed to be written.

[egoisticflamingo]

0:02 aww that little smile he did back at the kids just warmed my heart.

[ccm]

This is beautiful.
Just stating the obvious.

[notholaenas]

this made me tear up. so heart-breakingly raw and honest.

[goopygoopst]

Just recently a gun threat was placed on my school. Just recently was the kid taken in for making the threat. Just recently I realised that I could've been shot by a classmate and friend.

[Emiltee]

Can someone just... take a big speaker down to dc and sit there, playing this on loop?

I would, but i have like 12 cents

[forthrightjaguar]

Such a powerful performance. Especially the end. You can feel Jordan’s passion in this one.

I adore grandson. I just wish we didn’t need him.

If it wasnt for everything being so fucked up, we wouldnt have grandson. I wish we didn’t have grandson. I wish that we didnt need a voice, we didnt need someone to get up there and pour his heart out for us.

Thank you for being our voice, Jordan.

[Emiltee]

Oof.

Nothing quite like listening to a bunch of kids essentially singing "if I get shot in school it's your fault."

[coopierre]

Most kids my age don't realize that this ISN'T normal, if you were able to ask a 12 year old to name the last 5 shootings they probably couldn't name them because theres been so many. Now MY town is on the list, my home, my friends, or maybe yours. My generation is our only hope, we NEED to change this. No Thoughts No Prayers, Can Bring Back What's No Longer There.

[gggdwluka]

something about the whisper at 2:44 made me cry. this is powerful

[Rabbit-zssr]

Just wanted to say I recently became a fan of your work and I'm patiently waiting for your next song to drop. Until then this is a really good performance, thanks for all the work you put into this man, keep it up and I hope to see you get the recognition you deserve

[Vicky-zcvu]

This song should gain way more attention around the whole world because the world matters to all of us and this song is just so real and pure. This is just a fucking masterpiece🙌🏻
I love you grandson❤️

[dirtperson]

Condolences to all the people who had to suffer from the violence of a lost individual.

[star-ewqu]

This song unlike several others, has meaning. Songs like this should be the ones on the radio. Not the songs without meaning. But sadly songs like this are underrated.

[tyoungblood]

We need an update to this now more than ever. Almost 4 years later and it's not changing. Still sitting with moments of silence and it just keeps going.

[ahuffman]

Kids singing in the background hits fucking hard, as it should. They absolutely know what this song is about so dont say they dont. Amazing work Grandson.

[jadeey]

Hella chills right now... I love you grandson.

Stating the obvious others don’t want to believe.

[yes__]

it’s insane to me how many shootings have happened literally in this last couple weeks.. it makes me sick. i remember listening to this song when march for our lives matches were happening.. this song will always be relevant sadly..
