[Em] Come you masters [E] of [Em] war, you build the big [E] guns, [Em] you build the death planes, [E] build all
the bombs, [Em] you hide [E] behind walls, [Em] you hide behind desks, [Em] I just want you to know [E] I can
see through your masks, [Em] you never [E] done [Em] nothing but build, [E] destroy, [Em] you play with my world
like it's your little toy, you put a gun [E] in my hand, you hide from my [Em] eyes, and you turn
and run farther when the fast bullets fly, [E] [Em]
just like Judas, oh, [E] you lie and deceive,
when a war can be war, [D] you want me [E] to believe, [Em] but I see through your [Em] eyes, and I see through
your brain, I see [G] through the water that [Em] runs down my drain, you fasten all the [E] triggers
[Em] for [E] the others to fire, [Em]
you sit back and watch, [B] while the [Em] death count gets higher, you [E] hide
in your mansion, [Em] while the young people's blood, flows [G] out of their bodies and is [E] buried
in the mud, you [B] know the worst fear, [Bm] can never [B] be hurled, [Em] fear to bring children, [E] [Em] into the
world, [E] for threatening my baby, [Em] I'm born in a name, you ain't worth the blood [E] that runs
[B] through your veins, [Em] [E] [Em] how much do I know, talk out of turn, [E] you might say that I'm [B] young,
I say [Em] I'm a learn, there's one thing I [Bm] know, [B] though I'm younger than you, [Em] even Jesus [E] would
never think he'd [Em] want you through, let me ask you one question, is your [E] money that good,
[Em] [E] will it buy you forgiveness, [Em] do you think that it [B] could, [Em] I think you were fine, [Bm] your
debt takes its toll, [G] [Em] all the money you made will never buy [E] back your soul, and I hope
that you die, your death will come soon, [Em] [E] I'll follow [B] your casket, [Em] afternoon, [E] and I'll watch
while you're [B] lowered, down to your death [Em] bed, and I'll stand over [E] your grave and make sure
that [Em] you're dead.
