remedy drive - using my name lyrics

[chorus]
you’re using my name in vain
for your power and for your personal gain
for your advantage, for your wealth and for your fame
you’re using my name in vain

[verse 1]
the wealthy got their place of prominence at your feasts
on your committees and on your boards of directors
how can you defend your cultural dominance
but not the least of these in your cities and in your public sectors?

[chorus]
you’re using my name
you’re using my name in vain

[verse 2]
your public prayers i abhor in my ears
they have become a strain
because you ignore the poor in their fears
and thе exiled in their pain
bеcause you adore and you defend the l+stful, pride
the bribes and the lies of the arrogant
you’ve joined that tribe and aligned your brand
with the unkind in the land, it’s not me you represent
[chorus]
you are using my name in vain

[verse 3]
for your rights and privilege, you trade prophetic witness
for economy and prosperity, you have betrayed me with your kisses
when justice is in famine, and when righteousness is starved
you bow to the alters of mammon and the monuments of mars
my eyes are filled with fire, in my hand i hold seven stars
you pledge allegiance to this land, but not my country from afar
you pound new nails into my hands, you’re ripping open up my scars
with my name plastered on your billboards and the bumpers of your cars
on your bios, city halls, and on your paper currency
but you really trust in bombs and barriers
for your comfort and security

[chorus]
you are using my name
you’re using my name
you’re using my name in vain
