Name in Vain Songtext
von Motörhead

Don′t you say a word to me
Always barking up my tree
I don't need no more grief, no more third degree

Turn sunshine into rain
Turn pleasure into shame
Turn everything I say, inside out again

It seems, it seems the same
It seems, I ain′t to blame
It seems, that you're insane
Don't you take my name in vain

Tell me what a dog I am
Tell me it′s ′cause I'm a man
Tell you what, who gives a damn, just another scam

Ain′t me that's wrong this time
Ain′t me that's out of line
Ain′t me, it ain't my crime
Your rap, 'cause it ain′t mine


It seems, it seems the same
It seems, I ain′t to blame
It seems, that you're insane
Don′t you take my name in vain

Seems like you know the rules
I know you ain't no fool
You think you′re somethin' else, you look pretty cool

You ought to reconsider
I ain′t no Indian giver
I been as fair as I know how, so shut your mouth

You know it all seems
It's only in your dreams
I'm getting sick to death of swimming up the stream

I′m gonna ask you nice
And then I′ll ask you twice
If that don't work you get your ass back in your jeans

It seems, it seems the same
It seems, I ain′t to blame
It seems, that you're insane
Don′t you take my name in vain
