Masters of War |
Come, you masters of war |
You that build the big guns |
You that build the death planes |
You that build all the bombs |
You that hide behind walls |
You that hide behind desks |
I just want you to know |
I can see through your masks |
You that never done nothing |
But build to destroy |
You play with my world |
Like it’s your little toy |
You put a gun in my hand |
And you hide from my eyes |
And you turn and run farther |
When the fast bullets fly |
Like Judas of old |
You lie and deceive |
A world war can be won |
You want me to believe |
But I see through your eyes |
And I see through your brain |
Like I see through the water |
That runs down my drain |
You fasten all the triggers |
For the others to fire |
Then you set back and watch |
While the death count gets higher |
You hide in your mansion |
While the young people’s blood |
Flows out of their bodies |
And is buried in the mud |
You’ve thrown the worst fear |
That can ever be hurled |
Fear to bring children |
Into the world |
For threatening my baby |
Unborn and unnamed |
You ain't worth the blood |
That runs in your veins |
How much do I know |
To talk out of turn |
You might say that I’m young |
You might say I’m unlearned |
But there’s one thing I know |
Though I’m younger than you |
That even Jesus would never |
Forgive what you do |
Let me ask you one question |
Is your money that good |
Will it buy you forgiveness |
Do you think that it could |
I think you will find |
When your death takes its toll |
All the money you made |
Will never buy back your soul |
And I hope that you die |
And your death will come soon |
I will follow your casket |
By the pale afternoon |
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered |
Down to your deathbed |
And I’ll stand over your grave |
'Til I’m sure that you’re dead |
