[Verse 1] He stood at the podium, calm and clean Said freedom rides on gasoline Maps on the screen, lines in red “We’ll run the country,” is what he said Spoke of profits, pipelines, deals Like war is something you can seal Said it makes us safer, said it’s control But fear don’t vanish when you steal the oil [Pre-Chorus] I’ve heard this story before It never ends the way they swore [Chorus] Not in our name, not for the oil Not for the lies dressed up as soil You can’t bomb a nation into being free You can’t buy peace with tyranny Not in our name, we’ve seen this road It’s paved with ghosts and broken oaths [Verse 2] Maduro’s hands are stained with pain No crown of power makes him sane Venezuela deserves a voice A future built on its own choice But history screams from desert sands Iraq still burns from borrowed plans Regime change talk, the same refrain Chaos first, then endless chains [Pre-Chorus] No timeline drawn, no cost declared Just another fire nobody spared [Chorus] Not in our name, not for the oil Not for the blood beneath the soil You don’t save lives by lighting wars Or kicking down another door Not in our name, we’ve seen this road It’s paved with ghosts and broken oaths [Bridge] Congress wake up, take the wheel The law still matters, power is real Checks and balances aren’t a prop You don’t get silence, you don’t get stops To the ones in uniform tonight I honor your courage, your discipline Glad you came home alive again But this war shouldn’t have begun [Final Chorus] Not in our name, not for the oil Not for the crown of corporate spoil Justice isn’t conquest dressed in law Or freedom spoken through a jaw Not in our name, we draw the line No more reckless wars of our time [Outro] If safety’s the promise they keep repeating Why does it feel like the fire’s still eating
