[Intro]

For those that shattered the infallibility of militarism

Ye that have escaped the sword

Stand not still

[Chorus]

I refuse to kill

I refuse to maim

I refuse to fight

No, not in my name

I refuse to kill

I refuse to maim

I refuse to fight

No, not in my name

I refuse to kill

[Verse 1]

It's time we talk about the banality of evil

Murderous conformity mentality is lethal

How powerful systemise the savagery of people

There's insanity and tragedy in the fallacies they feed you

This is for the quakers that would die before they kill

Bertrand Russell in prison, he survived by force of will

Rejected by society, they'd prefer it's all concealed

History a mystery, a version to reveal

This is the conviction Rosa Luxemburg was murdered for

This is the tradition 2003 was searching for

No time to molly coddle, too many bodies we're sorry for

This is the feeling stopped them loading the SS Jolly George

80 died in jail all due to their treatment

Sacrificed their lives for the most human of reasons

Monsters on the conscience soothe delusions of freedom

The refusal to kill, a conviction you can believe in

[Chorus]

I refuse to kill

I refuse to maim

I refuse to fight

No, not in my name

I refuse to kill

I refuse to maim

I refuse to fight

No, not in my name

I refuse to kill

[Verse 2]

Keir Hardie's passed without a mention of Parliament

Alienation, targeting afterwards, it was hard for them

He considered Belgium as colonisers we can't defend

Sent to kill fellow workers by a wretched class of heartless men

Still draw the borders in the places that they trample

Our conscription isn't physical but it remains financial

Participants in carnage but from the strangest of angles

Don't prolong the bondage, it's time the cage is dismantled

Women's Peace Crusade contribution can't be forgotten

Legacy still alive and was fighting at Greenham Common

These the real heroes, not like Van Damme or Rambo

They shut the city down and banned Lloyd George from Glasgow

Better to die with honour then live life feeling guiltier

For all those that went against their families like Sylvia

I hope on inspiration from the legacy of Pankhurst

The next Joe Glenton can just walk away from Sandhurst

[Chorus]

I refuse to kill

I refuse to maim

I refuse to fight

No, not in my name

I refuse to kill

I refuse to maim

I refuse to fight, yeah

No, not in my name

I refuse to kill

I refuse to maim

I refuse to fight

No, not in my name

I refuse to kill

I refuse to maim

I refuse to fight

No, not in my name
