In My Name

In My Name

 

The world is turning, sky holds to the ground.

People watch the TV, they once were glory bound.

Someone broke the links, we know they won't be found.

 

The world is coming, plane crash off the ground.

People watch the TV, don't make their sound.

Someone put the news on, keeps us going round.

 

The world has changed and now war will resound.

We hear it on the TV, it's so peace can abound.

Someone spun the words round, we know they could be found.

 

Not in my name, in my name.

Not in my name, in my name:

you say it's a just war,

I say it's just your game.

 

The world's the same, you can buy it for a dollar or a pound.

People watch the TV, they're on solid ground.

Someone made the guns and bombs, our heads all stay down.

 

Not in my name, in my name.

Not in my name, in my name:

you say it's a just war,

I say it's just your gain.

 

I saw you looking in the eye of another man.

Don't know if I can take, I just don't know if I can.

Ah – it's your life you lead,

I'll try to understand.

 

Put this in my name, in my name.

Put this in my name, in my name:

I feel the fire of one soul, let's fan the flame;

I feel the fire of one soul, let's fan the flame.
