Lowkey - Refuse2Kill lyrics

For those that shattered the
Infallibility of militarism
Ye that have escaped the sword
Stand not still

I refuse to kill i refuse to maim
I refuse to fight no, not in my name
I refuse to kill i refuse to maim
I refuse to fight no, not in my name
I refuse to kill

It's time we talk about the banality of evil
Murderous conformity mentality is lethal
How powerful systemise the savagery of people
There's insanity and tragedy in the
Fallacies they feed you
This is for the quakers that
Would die before they kill
Bertrand Russell in prison
He survived by force of will
Rejected by society
They'd prefer it's all concealed
History a mystery, a version to reveal
This is the conviction Rosa
Luxemburg was murdered for
This is the tradition 2003 was searching for
No time to molly coddle
Too many bodies we're sorry for
This is the feeling stopped them
Loading the SS Jolly George
80 died in jail all due to their treatment
Sacrificed their lives for the
Most human of reasons
Monsters on the conscience soothe
Delusions of freedom the refusal to kill
A conviction you can believe in

I refuse to kill i refuse to maim
I refuse to fight no, not in my name
I refuse to kill i refuse to maim
I refuse to fight no, not in my name
I refuse to kill

Keir Hardie's passed without a
Mention of Parliament
Alienation, targeting afterwards
It was hard for them
He considered Belgium as colonisers
We can't defend
Sent to kill fellow workers by a
Wretched class of heartless men
Still draw the borders in the
Places that they trample
Our conscription isn't physical but
It remains financial
Participants in carnage but from
The strangest of angles
Don't prolong the bondage
It's time the cage is dismantled
Women's Peace Crusade contribution
Can't be forgotten
Legacy still alive and was
Fighting at Greenham Common
These the real heroes
Not like Van Damme or Rambo
They shut the city down and
Banned Lloyd George from Glasgow
Better to die with honour then
Live life feeling guiltier
For all those that went against
Their families like Sylvia
I hope on inspiration from
The legacy of Pankhurst
The next Joe Glenton can just
Walk away from Sandhurst

I refuse to kill i refuse to maim
I refuse to fight no, not in my name
I refuse to kill i refuse to maim
I refuse to fight, yeah no, not in my name
I refuse to kill i refuse to maim
I refuse to fight no, not in my name
I refuse to kill i refuse to maim
I refuse to fight no, not in my name
