It's in your name

lyrics

Open your eyes and let life inside
Stop trying to hide from what’s been going on
You build up the walls, escape from it all
A prison of comfort is what you’re hoping for

But listen to the wind you’ll hear the pain
Of suffering souls that fuel your gain
It wasn’t me I didn’t do nothing the guilt is all somebody else’s you claim
But it’s in your name
It’s in your name

Open your heart and maybe you’ll start to see
That we are all the same
The rich and the poor, the queen and the whore
The lines that we draw to justify our claim

But listen to the wind you’ll hear the pain
Of suffering souls that fuel your gain
It wasn’t me I didn’t do nothing the guilt is all somebody else’s you claim
But who is to blame?
When it’s in your name

It’s in your name
It’s in your name

The food that you eat
The gas for your Jeep
So good and so cheap

Yeah well, it’s in your name.

The clothes that they make
The countries they rape
The lives that they take

It’s in your name

But listen to the wind you’ll hear the pain
Of suffering souls that fuel your gain
It wasn’t me I didn’t do nothing the guilt is all somebody else’s you claim
But who is to blame?
When it’s in your name
