=======================
Not in my name, not in my name
=======================

When you go to war - it's not in my name
When the bombers are bombing,
and the innocent slain
I want you to know
it's not in my name

1.
World leaders are thinking 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


Not in my name...

2.
They say we'll stop the terror by going to war
And we'll terrorize 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

3.
Whatever happened to international law
Sharon ignores it, yet we support him more
and ignores what say
But until we deal fairly
it's not in my name.

4.
Put down your weapons and ask the question
why People are so desperate they're prepared to die
Take time to listen to other people's pain
And until you do,
it's not in my name.

5.
Could it be the arms trade, could it be the oil
That fuels our desire to kill and to spoil
While the planet's in peril, you want financial gain
That's why I say
not in my name

6.
Call me old-fashioned, call me naive
But it's something to do with what I believe
Those that live by the sword will die by it too I think that's true,
so it's not in my name
