You say we're all gonna get on the bus
Well not in my name
When you say "we" - you mean each one of us
Well not in my name
Say everyone's in agreement with you
Well not in my name
You say that we're gonna push this one through
Well not in my name
Not in my name, not in my name
Ain't singing your tune, I ain't playing your game
Not in my name, no, not in my name
No way José - go back where you came
You say we're all gonna redraw the map
Well not in my name, not in my name
You say we're all gonna talk the same crap
Well not in my name, no, not in my name
Time to decide just whose side you are on
Well not in my name, no, not in my name
One button to push and everyone's gone
Not in my name, no, not in my name
Not in my name, not in my name
Ain't singing your tune, I ain't playing your game
Not in my name, no, not in my name
No way José - go back where you came
(Instrumental)
We said we're right, we got nothing to prove
Well not in my name
So go on out and paint the world blue
But not in my name
You say I'm free if I do what you want
Not in my name
Damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
Well not in my name
Not in my name, not in my name
Ain't singing your tune, I ain't playing your game
Not in my name, no, not in my name
No way José - go back where you came
I said, not in my name, no, not in my name
Ain't singing your tune, I ain't playing your game
Not in my name, no, not in my name
No way José - go back where you came
