F _ _ _ _ Come, you masters of war, _ you that build the big guns, _ _ you that build the death planes, _ .
Eb you that
Fm build all the bombs,
F _ you
Bb that hide
F behind walls, _ you that hide behind desks.
_ I just want you to know I can see through your masks.
_ You that never done
Fm nothing _ _ but fail to destroy, _ _ you play with my world _ like
Bb it's your
Fm little toy.
_ _ You put a gun in my hand and
Bb you hide from
Fm my eyes, _ and you turn
F and run farther
Fm when those fast bullets fly.
_ _ Like Judas of old, _ _ you lie and deceive.
_ _ .
A world war can be won, _
Eb you want me to
Fm believe.
_ _ But I see through your eyes, _
Bb and I see through
Fm your brain, _ like I see through the
Eb water that
F runs down my
Fm drain.
_ _ _
Eb _
Fm _ _ _ .
You fasten all the triggers _ _ for the
Bb others to
Fm fire, _ _ and then you
Eb sit back and
Fm watch
F _ when the
Bb death count
Fm gets higher.
_ _ You hide in your mansion while
Bb the young
Fm people's blood _ _
F.
flows out of their bodies and
Fm is buried in the mud.
_ _ .
You've thrown the worst fear _ that can ever be hurled, _ _ afraid to bring children _ into
Bb _
Fm the world,.
_ before
Eb threatening
Fm my baby, _ _ unborn and unnamed.
_ You ain't worth the blood
Bb that runs in
Fm your veins, _ _ _ _ _ how much do I know _ .
_ But to talk out of turn, _ _ you must say that I'm young, _ you must say
Bb I'm
Fm unlearned.
_ But there's one thing I know, _ I'm younger than you, _ _ that even Jesus would never
Bb forgive
Fm what you do.
_ Let me ask you one question, _ is your money that good _ _ .
Will it buy you forgiveness.
_ _
Bb Do you think that
Fm it could.
_ _ I think you will find, _ _
Bb when your death
Fm takes its toll, _ _ .
all the money
F you
Gm made will never buy
Fm back your soul.
_ _ And I hope that you die, _ _ and your death will come soon.
_ _ I'll follow your casket _ by the pale afternoon, _ _ and I'll watch while you lured _ down to your deathbed, _ .
and I'll stand over your grave
F till I'm sure that
Fm you're dead.
