Not In Our Name Lyrics by Louise Distras

Dreams from the Factory Floor

2013

Broken dreams no independence
Jungled streets and hidden dangers
Cracked stability atrocity I walk past everyday
And it seems that we owe favours for a chance to be remembered
Spoilt for choice that's pre-selected that we're spoonfed everyday

A blind divide
We can see the truth between darkness and the light
And they ask why we'd love to blind them
With a lack of sunlight and all the darkness in thеir lies, in their lies

Machinе making money
Power greed control and profit
Destruction drugs and bombs and bullets
It's never in our name
Working class assassination
Democratic youth starvation
Patriotic safe salvation
It's not in our name

A blind divide
We can see the truth between darkness and the light
And they ask why we'd love to blind them
With a lack of sunlight and all the darkness in their lies, lies, lies, lies

Does it make you happy?
Does it make you sad?
Coz it makes me proud to be alive and part of who I am

A blind divide
We can see the truth between darkness and the light
And they ask why we'd love to blind them
With a lack of sunlight and all the darkness in their...

A blind divide
We can see the truth between darkness and the light
And they ask why we'd love to blind them
With a lack of sunlight and all the darkness

Does it make you happy?
Does it make you sad?
Coz it makes me proud to be alive and part of who I am

It's not in our name
