[Sample: Senator Scott Ludlam] "The truth is... this benighted attempt at a government are a temporary phenomenon. This too... will pa**, and we need to keep our eyes on the bigger picture. And, perhaps most profoundly, your determined campaign to provoke fear in our community—fear of innocent families fleeing war and violence in our region—in the hope that it would bring out the worst in Australians is instead bringing out the best [Chorus: Nick Lupi] So I tell 'em we won't stand Tell 'em we won't break Until they close the camps, until they change the date Say it simple and plain Not in my name [Verse 1: Nick Lupi] This rhyme was designed by the villainy Inside me leading me blindly I won't go quietly or, tow, the line like symmetry Kinda bittersweet, been on the wrong side of history With the right lottery ticket to coast by blissfully But me I do it differently, I never endorsed The deals that they've done in our name, detention offshore Never again, yeah we've said before This Apple rotten to the core, it's not something we should be settling for (My people want more) We want more, had enough of your talk Y'all have set us back years, now it's time it's brought forward Call it for what it is, listen we ain't falling for it Don't need anymore reports just to sit in your draw I'm calling for a plague on both houses, I douse both houses The flames so big the military planes gotta around it We got the place surrounded, the change we sing about Let's bring about it, only one way we coming out it [Chorus: Radical Son (Nick Lupi)] And it'd be nice to believe The worst is over But then times I feel it's only Just begun (Feel like we only getting started here) And what if we give, give up this fight Then we're the poser (But we ain't giving up this fight) We'll just sing lower (No, we ain't giving up this fight) and lower Again (I say it simple and plain) You're not in my name You're not in my name Not in my name You're not in my name [Verse 2: Jimmy Nice] Hey, hey, say [?] brave hearted Till departed, chartered a bullet back to where it started Blowing that beg your pardon in the parliamentary gardens I'm guarding my mental property, Talib Kweli quality Told me 'I don't f** with politics, I don't even follow it' I don't know where to start, maybe I'm a part of the problem here Now I'm worlds apart from the ignorance that got me here Talking all that wealth for toil till you get your soil commandeered Mr Speaker should our leader wind up missing history's pages Won't miss him either, tell the coppas I'm guilty A Molotov at your building, always was And it always will be we stop at nothing you f**in feel me? [Chorus (Extended): Radical Son (Nick Lupi)] It'd be nice to believe The worst is over But then times I feel it's only Just begun (Feel like we only getting started here) And what if we give, give up this fight Then we're the poser (But we ain't giving up this fight) We just sing lower (No, we ain't giving up this fight) and lower Again (I say it simple and plain) And it'd be nice to believe The worst is over But at times I feel it's only Just begun (Feel like we only getting started here) But if we give, give up this fight Then we're no closer (But we ain't giving up this fight) We just sing lower (No, we ain't giving up this fight) and lower Again (I say it simple and plain) Not in my name Not in my name Not in my name Not in my name [Beat Shift] [Spoken: Jimmy Nice & [?]] "One good shirt had us all fly" "One good shirt had us all fly" "One good shirt" "Each link in the chain a reflection of the Faces in the frame This kingdom which we claim This thing of ours, so bold, so unashamed All in the name of having a name So tell me, does it feel the same? Feel like the feelings faded, the fire is still inside of me Flyest to do it, look where I take it Where I take it Higher, kick you the realest game I got it, you got it, we thrash it then give it back to you When I wash it, the quality still remain
