Too long you have deceived me, lied right to my face
Stirred up discontentment – set race against race
You trample on humanity, inflict torture and pain
No longer will you do it! –No, not in my name!
You say we are defending -freedom in the world
But we are not defending by killing boys and girls
Compassionate people knows it's just not right
To stand against one's brother, and pick any kind of fight
Oh no, not in my name will you wage another war
So corporate masters ruthlessly prosper
From our humanity – that's unjust and insane
I must pledge my resistance – NO! Not in my name!
No, no! Not in my name!
I'm a patriot of America born upon her soil
And I say no more bloodshed to benefit Big Oil
I must pledge my resistance – to any government
Sacrificing human life – with torturous intent.
The time has come to stand up before it's too damn late
The power of the people is the power that is great
We cannot put a price tag on civil liberties
Or else the freedoms we hold dear will no longer be.
Oh no, not in my name will you wage another war
So corporate masters ruthlessly prosper
From our humanity – that's unjust and insane
I must pledge my resistance – No! Not in my name!
I must pledge my resistance – NO! Not in my name!
No, no! Not in my name!
Stirred up discontentment – set race against race
You trample on humanity, inflict torture and pain
No longer will you do it! –No, not in my name!
You say we are defending -freedom in the world
But we are not defending by killing boys and girls
Compassionate people knows it's just not right
To stand against one's brother, and pick any kind of fight
Oh no, not in my name will you wage another war
So corporate masters ruthlessly prosper
From our humanity – that's unjust and insane
I must pledge my resistance – NO! Not in my name!
No, no! Not in my name!
I'm a patriot of America born upon her soil
And I say no more bloodshed to benefit Big Oil
I must pledge my resistance – to any government
Sacrificing human life – with torturous intent.
The time has come to stand up before it's too damn late
The power of the people is the power that is great
We cannot put a price tag on civil liberties
Or else the freedoms we hold dear will no longer be.
Oh no, not in my name will you wage another war
So corporate masters ruthlessly prosper
From our humanity – that's unjust and insane
I must pledge my resistance – No! Not in my name!
I must pledge my resistance – NO! Not in my name!
No, no! Not in my name!
