	Anti-war song. We can let dialouge, education, and cultural exchange take the place of greed, fear, and war!
	Story Behind the Song We went to an peace rally/march against the Iraq War last fall and took the "Not In My Name" pledge. When we returned home, this song was born right away. Lyrics (VS 1) Too long you have deceived me, you lie right to my face I’ve watched you stir up discontentment – Set race against race You trample on the homeless, the infirm and the lame No longer will you do it – No! Not in my name (CHORUS) Oh no not in my name will you wage another war No longer can big business ruthlessly prosper From all humanity – That’s so injust and insane I must pledge my resistance – NO! Not in my name! (VS 2) You call yourself “defender”, of freedom in the world, But your way of defending is to kill small boys and girls Deep within my being I know it’s just not right To stand against my brother and pick any kind of fight REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE (VS 3) I’m a patriot of America born upon her soil And I say no more bloodshed - especially for oil I must pledge my resistance to a government That on sacrificing human life is so hell bent REPEAT CHORUS & BRIDGE (VS 4) The time has come to do more than just sing a protest song For we must come together and see what’s really wrong We cannot place a price tag on civil liberties Or else the freedoms we hold dear will no longer be
