joy oladokun - dear maria lyrics

[intro]
oh, sh+t

[verse 1]
i’ve been faithful, graceful
f+cked up and wasteful
flying down the interstate
i’ve been hopeless, broken
out in the open
with nothing pretty to my name

[pre+chorus]
i’ve been rusting the silver lining
i’ve been searching the western skies
i am looking for peace of mind

[chorus]
but there’s just noise on the radio
and violence on television
rumors of radiation in the air
they’re playing god in sp+ce
and giving bullets to the children
dear maria, won’t you say a prayer?
won’t you say a prayer?

[verse 2]
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)
[pre+chorus]
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

[chorus]
but there’s just noise on the radio
and violence on television
rumors of radiation in the air
they’re playing god in sp+ce
and giving bullets to the children
dear maria, won’t you say a prayer

[bridge]
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

[chorus]
there’s just noise on the radio
and violence on television
rumors of radiation in the air
they’re playing god in sp+ce
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 sp+ce
and giving bullets to the children
dear maria, won’t you say a prayer?
won’t you say a prayer?
[outro]
okay, we got it
