Why should I have to show my I.D.
G
Em
There's no consensus and I don't agree
G
Em
With what they're undertaking in my name
G
Em
D
I'm appalled and I'm ashamed
G
Em
Why should I have to show my I.D.
G
Em
To be enrolled in this community
G
Em
Where all my role models are on the take
G
Em D
And the real thing is a fake
C
All my heroes died
D
While they were still alive
G
Confused or compromised
Em G
Their values undermined
D
C
They were led down to the hole
D
Where the blood and money flows
G D G

G
Em
Someone somewhere's got a file on me
G
Em
And someone somewhere's got a file on you
G Em D
Anyone will do
C
The world's ruled by a cheat
D
With his gang of thieves
G
Whose lies and double-speak
Em G
Spread faster than disease
D
C
And your pursuit of peace
D
Will mark you out a freak
G
A victim and a bore
Em
G
While their portfolios soar
D
C
And weapons sales will peak
D
Aimed only at the weak
G
Those already on their knees
Em G
It's arms for amputees
D
C
It's the bullet's exit hole
D
Where the blood and money flows
G D
Never again!
G D
Not in my name!
C

G D
Never again!
G
Not in my name!

Never again!

Not in my name!

Bm D
C
Bad guys come first
D
The third world thirsts,
G
Starves or dies of AIDS
Em G
In the modern day crusades
D
C
The wild west will win
D
Defeat the Indians
G
Drive the devils to the door
Em
G
With the homeless and the poor
D
C
And when there's nothing left to bomb
D
No-one left to beat
G
They'll train their crosswires on
Em G
The unseen enemy
D
C
The ever-present threat
D
That hasn't happened yet
G
And probably never will
Em
G
Still they move in for the kill
D
C
But the night sights won't show
D
If you're friend or foe
G
Are you so much better than
Em G
The junkies and Saddam?
D
C
Are you guaranteed a place
D
When they build the master race?
G
Will the world then be pure?
Em
G
We've heard that one before
D
C
In history's deepest holes
D
Where the blood and money flowed
G D
Never again!
G D
Not in my name!
