Stop Killing in My Name

Sara Messenger © 2002

Stop killing in my name
Stop killing in my name
’Cause the whole world is watching
And there’s a reason why they blame us
So stop killing in my name

Stop killing on my dime
Stop killing on my dime
’Cause half of my taxes
Go to fund your bloody crimes
So stop killing on my dime

Stop hiding what you do
Stop hiding what you do
Because the people of this country
Are already wise to you
So you can stop hiding what you do

And you can stop lying to my face
Stop lying to my face
Because I love my country
But you’ve made it an evil place
So just stop lying to my face

Stop torturing innocents
You must stop torturing innocents
You invade and you conquer
Then you call it self defense
But you must stop torturing innocents

Stop using others to kill
Stop using others to kill
You use us to kill each other
But it won’t be long until
We will stop being used to kill

And we will stop fighting in your wars
We will stop fighting in your wars
For the brave men of this world
Are putting down their guns and swords
Singing: I ain’t a-marchin’ anymore

And then, God willing, peace will reign
God willing peace will reign
And from heaven we’ll hear God and Alla
Sing the same refrain:
Stop killing in my name
