Intro: Closer Enemies even Closer! 
Verse 1: 
And so the narrative goes we need to fear these terrorists… or we'll be blown up in our homes by extremists!! I'm confused 'Al Qaeda' now it’s 'Isis' Step forward next force flag and world crisis! Pre-chorus: Now I wanna keep my friends Close an my enemies even Closer! Been running Red Lights in my dreams Wanna keep my friends Close Chorus: I’m running, just running I’m running, running a red light Closer Verse 2: 
And world just keeps on spinning
And our governments just keep on killing!! To them life has no meaning…
I say they have no feeling…
They try and dress it up like this
 and they try and dress it up like that 
Dead kids washing up on beaches!!!
 Just like a matter of fact Pre-chorus: Now I wanna keep my friends Close and my enemies even Closer! Closer Been running Red Lights in my dreams Chorus: I’m running, just running I’m running, running a red light Wanna keep my friends Close Closer Verse 3: 
I can't eat I can't sleep, I'm running red lights
 I can't eat I can't sleep, then the sunrise, 

when I finally sleep I'm running red lights in my dreams
, kids buried in their bombed out homes 
No one to hear their screams!!! Now I wanna keep my friends Close and my enemies even Closer! Final Chorus: I’m running, just running, I’m running, running a red light I’m running, just running, I’m running, running a red light

Verse 1: 
This one goes out to all the family's
 That are gonna suffer at the hands of the establishment

 Please know this is Not in Our Name
 Every member of the 397
 You should bow your head in shame 

So Presidents, so Prime Ministers 
Where's your empathy and integrity now? Its unravelling before us on National TV  
 Chorus:
 Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die People die in vain Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die People die in vain 

Verse 2:
 Your nothing but elected, non-affected
 Procurers of pain!!
 We know you like to call, all the shots, from the safety
 And the comfort of your office blocks
 But your just 21st century war criminals!! Chorus: Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die People die in vain Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die People die in vain 

 Verse 3: 
We have a situation, where our politicians have voted for yet another bombing campaign 
Where jet fighter pilots and drone strike controllers
 Are pressing buttons and playing war games

 Setting our beautiful worlds skies alight with explosions and blue flames

But they are just 21st century war criminals!! Chorus: Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die People die in vain Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die People die in vain Verse 4:
 Our Politicians are committing thousands of men, women and children
 To buried by rubble rain
 Trapped beneath concrete and mangled steel frame
 What we are dealing with ladies and gentlemen
 Is that collectively we have elected a group of modern day war criminals!! Chorus: Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die People die in vain Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die Not in Our Name, Not in Our Name, will people die People die in vain
