to the tune of livin' on a prayer in song parodies

Tommy reads the news on his phone… some union’s on strike
they’re down on his luck… “it’s tough” he thinks… “so tough”
Gina works her memes all day… working instagram
socially engaged, she says, she says

she says, we’ve got click “like” and then not try
we’ll sign an e-petition and then hope they don’t die
we’ll feign mild concern and though they’ll buy it, it’s all just a lie!

whoa, they don’t really care, who-oa, they’re sending thoughts and prayers
they don’t wanna help they don’t wanna share, whoa, sending thoughts and prayers

Tommy might retweet some hashtags
but real action the thought of it makes him gag
it’s not… his bag
Gina checks her tumblr all day
when she gets no re-shares, Tommy whispers
baby, it’s okay, someday

they’re gonna click “like” and then not try
they’ll sign an e-petition and then hope they don’t die
they’ll feign mild concern and though they’ll buy it, it’s all just a lie!

whoa, they don’t really care, who-oa, they’re sending thoughts and prayers
they don’t wanna help they don’t wanna share, whoa, sending thoughts and prayers

they’re gonna click “like” on the facebook
they mention it once then they no longer look!
whoa, they don’t really care, who-oa, they’re sending thoughts and prayers
they don’t wanna help they don’t wanna share, whoa, sending thoughts and prayers
