Not In My Name

World leaders are thinking that the answers can come
In the power of violence from the tank and the gun
In bombing the people with rockets and planes
But I want them to know it’s not in my name


They say we’ll stop the terror by going to war
We’ll terrorise terrorists until there’s no more
But dealing with the causes would be the better way
And until we do it’s not in my name


Chorus:
Not in my name, not in my name
When you go to war it’s not in my name
As the bombers are bombing and the innocent are slain
I want you to know it’s not in my name


Put down your weapons, ask the question why
People are so desperate that they’re prepared to die
Take time to listen to other people’s pain
And until you do it’s not in my time


Chorus:


Well could it be the arms trade, could it be the oil
That fuels our desire to kill and despoil
While this planet’s in peril you want financial gain
Well that’s why I say it’s not in my name


Chorus:


Call me old fashioned, call me naïve
But it’s something to do with what I believe
Those that live by the sword are going to die by it too
I think that’s true so it’s not in my name


Chorus:
