Come you [F] 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 [Fm] nothing but build to destroy, you play [F] with my world like it's your little [Fm] toy,
you put a gun in my hand and [Bb] you hide from [F] my eyes,
and you turn [C] and run farther when [F] the fast bullets fly,
like Judas of [Fm] old, you lie and deceive, a world war can be won, [F] you want me to believe,
but I see through [Fm] your eyes [F] and I see through your [Fm] brain,
like I see through the water [F] that runs down my drain,
[Fm]
[F] you fasten all the [Fm] triggers for the others to fire,
[Fm]
and then you sit [F] back and watch when [C] the death count gets [Fm] higher,
you hide in your mansion while [Bb] the young [Fm] people's blood
[F] flows out of their bodies and is buried in the [Fm] mud,
you throw my worst fear that can ever be hurled,
fear [F] to bring [Fm] children [F] into the [Fm]
world,
before [F] threatening my baby, unborn and [Fm] unnamed,
you ain't worth the blood that [F] runs in your [Fm] veins,
how much do I know that to talk out of turn,
you must say that [F] I'm young, you must say I'm [Fm] unlearned,
but there's one thing I know, [F] I'm younger than [Fm] you,
that even [F] Jesus would never [Bb] forgive what you do,
let me ask you one question, [Fm]
is your money that good,
will it buy you forgiveness, do [Bb] you think that it could,
I think you will find when your death [Fm] takes its toll,
all the [F] money you 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 [F] by the pale [Fm] afternoon,
and I'll watch while you're lured down to your death bed,
and I'll stand over your [F] grave till I'm sure that [Fm] you're dead,
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 [Fm] nothing but build to destroy, you play [F] with my world like it's your little [Fm] toy,
you put a gun in my hand and [Bb] you hide from [F] my eyes,
and you turn [C] and run farther when [F] the fast bullets fly,
like Judas of [Fm] old, you lie and deceive, a world war can be won, [F] you want me to believe,
but I see through [Fm] your eyes [F] and I see through your [Fm] brain,
like I see through the water [F] that runs down my drain,
[Fm]
[F] you fasten all the [Fm] triggers for the others to fire,
[Fm]
and then you sit [F] back and watch when [C] the death count gets [Fm] higher,
you hide in your mansion while [Bb] the young [Fm] people's blood
[F] flows out of their bodies and is buried in the [Fm] mud,
