TV Smith - Not in My Name lyrics
Why should I have to show my I.D. There's no consensus and I don't agree With what they're undertaking in my name I'm appalled and I'm ashamed Why should I have to show my I.D. To be enrolled in this community Where all my role models are on the take And the real thing is fake All my heroes died While they were still alive Confused or compromised Their values undermined They were led down to the hole Where the blood and money flows Why should I have to show my I.D. Someone somewhere's got a file on me And someone somewhere's got a file on you Anyone will do The world's ruled by a cheat With his gang of thieves Whose lies and double-speak Spread faster than disease And your pursuit of peace Will mark you out a freak A victim and a bore While their portfolios soar And weapons sales will peak Aimed only at the weak Those already on their knees It's arms for amputees It's the bullet's exit hole Where the blood and money flows Never again! Not in my name! Bad guys come first The third world thirsts, Starves or dies of AIDS In the modern day crusades The wild west will win Defeat the Indians Drive the devils to the door With the homeless and the poor And when there's nothing left to bomb No-one left to beat They'll train their crosswires on The unseen enemy The ever-present threat That hasn't happened yet And probably never will Still they move in for the kill But the night sights won't show If you're friend or foe Are you so much better than The junkies and Saddam? Are you guaranteed a place When they build the master race? Will the world then be pure? We've heard that one before In history's deepest holes Where the blood and money flowed Never again! Not in my name! |
