about

Written and recorded in direct response to the vote in the UK parliament in, 2015, to join the USA in the 'bombing campaign' of Syria. As voted for by 397 Members of Parliament!

lyrics

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
