mekons - not in my name lyrics

Loading...

we said goodbye at the depot
she wore a pack upon her back
she was older and we were sadder
the girl looked nothing like a military man
the girl looked nothing like a military man

i watched the leader’s new speech
he wore a suit upon his back
smiling down to six hundred cities
k!lling thousands with faith alone
he was k!lling thousands with faith alone

when i took the text from a captain
sending back her pack
dear daughter ‘neath the sun
was never, never coming back
she was never, never coming back

i sit in the pub by the station
a wet mac on my back
all those hopes for the nation
left me crying with no plan of attack
left me crying with no plan of attack

adam found the body of abel
pain won’t go back in the sack
father outliving each child
another little one never coming back
it’s a little one never coming back

i hear her mother in my head
badge and a wedding ring
all she said was:
not in my name, not in my name
not in my name, not in my name
we said goodbye at the depot
she wore a pack on her back
we were older and she was sadder
the girl looked nothing like a military man
i said the girl looked nothing like a military man

i watched the leader’s new speech
he wore a suit on his back
smiling down to six hundred cities
k!lling thousands with faith alone
he was k!lling thousands with faith alone

when i took the text from a captain
sending back her pack
our dear daughter ‘neath the sun
was never, never coming back
she was never, never coming back
