not in our name - mp3

the pledge to resist:

we believe that as people living in the united states
it is our responsibility to resist
the injustices done by our government in our names.

not in our name will you wage endless war.
there can be no more deaths.
no more transfusions of blood for oil.

not in our name
will you invade countries,
bomb civilians,
kill more children,
letting history take its course
over the graves of the nameless.

not in our name
will you erode the very freedoms
you have claimed to fight for.

not by our hands
will we supply weapons and funding
for the annihilation of families on foreign soil.

not by our mouths
will we let fear silence us.

not by our hearts
will we allow whole peoples or countries to be deemed evil.

not by our will
and not in our name.

we pledge resistance.
we pledge alliance with those who have come under attack
for voicing opposition to the war or for their religion or ethnicity.

we pledge to make common cause
with the people of the world
to bring about justice, freedom and peace.

another world is possible and we pledge to make it real.

~ saul williams (DJ spooky remix)
