Californian punk rock group The Offspring has created two songs about school shootings in the United States. In "Come Out and Play" (1994), the focus is on clashing school gangs, lamenting that "[kids] are getting weapons with the greatest of ease", "It goes down the same as a thousand before / No one's getting smarter / No one's learning the score / A never ending spree of death and violence and hate". In the 2008 song "Hammerhead", a campus gunman thinks he is a soldier in a warzone. One of the more provocative songs to come out of the Parkland, Fla. high school shooting was “thoughts &amp; prayers” from politically charged alternative artist/rapper grandson (born Jordan Benjamin). “No thoughts and no prayers can bring back what’s no longer there/ The silent are damned/the body count is on your hands”; the song is a critique of politicians sending out their “thoughts and prayers” to the victims of the Feb 14 attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school and other mass shootings, accompanied by what he perceives as a consistent resistance to gun control laws.
