Not in my name lyrics

Spoken:

You kill in the name of freedom

You kill in the name of democracy

You kill in the name of God

But not in my name will you kill

Is it not enough what you’ve done?

With all the bloodshed you’ve caused

Yet your greed drives you on

In your brutal race for acquisition

No land is left untouched

Driven by a vile ambition

To have the whole world in your clutch

Every single new addition

To your slave colony

Does nothing to dull your ambition

To leave no nation free

It is indeed a sad condition that you suffer from

This itching desire for a prime position

To have all under your thumb

Not in my name will you fight

Not in my name will you kill

Not in my name will you burn a child

Not in my name will you lie

Not in my name will you invade

Not in my name will you rape

Not in my name will you terrorize

Not in my name will you lie

I warn it’s time to take heed

One day you’ll find yourself pursued

By every person you’ve made bleed

You thought they’d been subdued

You were wrong

You were wrong

They’ve been freed

They’ve been freed

Against your evil methods of violence and intimidation

Against your hijacking and misinterpretation

Of my peaceful faith and revelation

I shout with billions in this demonstration

Not in my name will you fight

Not in my name will you kill

Not in my name will you burn a child

Not in my name will you lie

Not in my name will you invade

Not in my name will you rape

Not in our name

Will you dare to speak again

Not in our name
