[F] Come, you masters of war, hear they build the big guns, hear they build the death planes,
[Eb] hear they [F] build all the bombs, hear they [Bb] hide behind [F] walls, hear they hide behind desks.
I just want you to know I can see through your masks.
You that never [Fm] done nothing, put
a [Bb] bell to [Fm] destroy.
You play with my world [Bb] like it's your little [Fm] toy.
You put a gun
in my hand and [Bb] you hide from [Fm] my eyes and you turn and [Eb] run farther when those [Fm] fast bullets
fly like Judas of old.
You lie and deceive.
A world war can be won.
You want to be a hero,
[Eb] you want me [Fm] to believe.
But I see through your eyes and [Bb] I see through your [Fm] brain like
I see through the water [Eb] that runs [F] down my drain.
[Fm]
[Eb] [Fm]
You fasten all the triggers for the
[Bb] others to [Fm] fire.
Then you [Eb] sit back and [Fm] watch [F]
when the death [Bb] count [Fm] gets higher.
You hide
in your mansion [Bb] while the young [Fm] people's blood
[F] flows out of their [Fm] bodies and is buried
in the mud.
You throw in the worst fear that can ever be hurled.
Fear to bring children
[Bb] into [Fm] the world before threatening my baby unborn and unnamed.
You lie and deceive.
A
man ain't worth the blood that [Bb] runs [Fm] in your veins.
How much do I know?
But you talk out
a turn.
You must say that I'm young.
You must say [Bb] I'm [Fm] unlearned.
But there's one thing I
know.
[Bb] I'm [Fm] younger than you.
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 [Fm] that
it could?
I think you will find when [Bb] your death takes its [Fm] toll, all the [F] money you made
[Gm] 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.
I'll watch while you're lured [Bb] down to your
[Fm] deathbed.
And I'll stand over your [F] grave till I'm sure that [Fm] you're dead.
