The lyrics reflect on a sort of paternalism, linking the personal to the political:
When you see injustice
when you feel pain
when conflicted in a way
with feelings of shame
Don’t steal for me
Don’t kill for me
Not in my name
All it takes to acknowledge
and to step away
make it clear you are not at fault
take a step to clear your name
Don’t steal for me
Don’t kill for me
Not in my name
When your country claims a right
when your friend starts a fight
can not stand by unmoved
support inaction proves
