masters of war
Come you masters of war, you that build all the guns
You that build the death place, you that build all the guns
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 to build and destroy
You play with my world, like its your little toy
You put a gun in my hand, then you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther as the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old, you lie and deceive
A world war can be won, and 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 that fasten all the triggers, for the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch, while the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion, while young peoples blood
Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud
Youve thrown the worst fear, that could ever be hurled
The fear to bring children, into this world
For threatenin my baby, unborn and unnamed
You aint worth the blood that runs in your veins
How much do I know, to talk out of turn?
You might say that Im young, you might say Im unlearned
But theres one thing I know, though Im younger than you
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?
Oh, 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
Ill follow your casket, in the pale afternoon
And Ill watch as youre lowered, into your deathbed
And Ill stand on your grave til Im sure that youre dead
