Not Gonna Say Your Name

There are people who say
We oughta give you a chance
But there’s not a chance in hell
That we’ll sit back and watch you try to turn back the clock
And just sigh and say “oh well”
No, we’ll fight you every step of the way
You’re playing a losing game
And you’ll be the one with nothing to say
But I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not gonna say your name

I’m sick of your name
I’ve heard it enough
I’d rather not hear it anymore
But you’re wrong if you think we can look the other way
While you kick our friends to the floor
And though it’s hard to accept you’re really here to stay
Our culture is obsessed with fame
I might have to see your face a hundred times every day
But I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not gonna say your name

You let your name
Be a symbol of hate
And you never said a word
Anything you say now is too little too late
It’s pathetic and absurd
I hear the voices of hate they’re getting louder each day
We’re all looking for someone to blame
But I’ll keep on singing for love anyway
And I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not gonna say your name

Tell me don’t you have a mother?
A daughter, a wife?
Man, you really oughta be ashamed
The way you brag about grabbing what gave you your life
You must really think life is a game
Well a big storm is coming, it might last four years
Maybe nothing will ever be the same
But we won’t move away, we will stay right here
And we’re not, we’re not, we’re not, we’re not, we’re not gonna say your name
