Start Jamming...
Come you masters of war
[B] [Em]
You that build all the gods
You that build the dead planes
[B] You [Em] that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you [C] to know
[Am] I can [Em] see through all your lies
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
Oh, then you [G] turn and run
[C] [Am] Following the [Em] cruelest lies
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
If you want me to believe
But I see through your [B] eyes
And [Em] I see through your brain
Like I see through [C] the waters
That [D] run down [Em]
your passionate fingers
For the others to fire
You sit back and watch
As the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people flood
[B] [Em] Flowers [C] out of their bodies
[Am] Not a third [Em] of those
Have
[B] grown worth their
[Em] That can ever be heard
Here to bring children
Into the world
[E] Oh, threatening my [Em] babies
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth [C] the blood
[Am] That runs in your veins
[B] [Em]
How much do I know
[B] To [Em]
speak out of turn
You might say that I'm young
[B]
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
[Em]
Even Jesus [C] would never
[Am] Forgive what you do
[B] Let me ask you one more thing
[Em] Is your money that good
Well, in my forgiveness
Do you think that it's good
[B] I'm sure you will [Em] find
[Em] When your death takes its toll
All the money you [C] made
Will [Am] never buy back [Em] your soul
[B] And I'll hold that reply
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
On a pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
[B] Onto your deathbed
[Em] And I'll stand or you'll [C] grieve
[Eb] [Em] Till I'm sure that you're dead
