Refuse To Kill |
| For those that shattered the infallibility of militarism |
| Ye that have escaped the sword, stand not still |
| 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 |
| It’s time we talk about banality of evil |
| Murderous conformity, mentality is lethal |
| How the powerful systemize the savagery of people |
| There’s insanity and tragedy in 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, 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 mollycoddle, too many bodies we’re sorry for |
| This is the feeling that stopped 'em loading 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 |
| 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 |
| Keir Hardie’s passed without a mention of parliament |
| Alienation targeting afterwards it was hard for them |
| He considered Belgium as colonizers we can’t defend |
| Sent to kill fellow workers by a wretched class of heartless men |
| Still drew the borders in places that they trample |
| Conscription isn’t physical but it remains financial |
| Participants in carnage but from the strangest of angles |
| Don’t prolong the mental 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 are the real heroes, not Van Damme or Rambo |
| They shut the city down and banned Lloyd George from Glasgow |
| Better to die with honor than live life feeling guilter |
| For all those that went against their families like Sylvia |
| Hope on inspiration from the legacy of Pankhurst |
| The next Joe Glenton can just walk away from Sandhurst |
| 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, 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 |
