"Dear Maria" lyrics

Oh, shit

I've been faithful, graceful
Fucked up and wasteful
Flying down the interstate
I've been hopeless, broken
Out in the open
With nothing pretty to my name

I've been rusting the silver lining
I've been searching the western skies
I am looking for peace of mind

But there's just noise on the radio
And violence on television
Rumors of radiation in the air
They're playing God in space
And giving bullets to the children
Dear Maria, won't you say a prayer?
Won't you say a prayer?

I've been stressed out, let down
Stuck in a small town
Hope is a heavy thing (Heavy, heavy)
I've been helpless, jealous
Young and so restless
Trying to find somewhere free (Trying to be free)

I've been racing the hands of time (I've been running)
I've been falling further behind (Behind)
I am looking for peace of mind

But there's just noise on the radio
And violence on television
Rumors of radiation in the air
They're playing God in space
And giving bullets to the children
Dear Maria, won't you say a prayer

For the holy?
The empty, the loaded
The burnt-out and suffering
For the losers, the bruised
For the old and the useless
And those shut down by history
And when you're done, say a prayer for me

There's just noise on the radio
And violence on television
Rumors of radiation in the air
They're playing God in space
And giving bullets to the children
Dear Maria, dear Maria
Noise on the radio
And violence on television
Rumors of radiation in the air
They're playing God in space
And giving bullets to the children
Dear Maria, won't you say a prayer?
Won't you say a prayer?

Okay, we got it
