[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.
[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.
