[Verse]
Em
Come you masters of war

Em
You that build the big guns

Em
You that build the death planes

Em
You that build all the bombs

Em
You that hide behind walls

Em
You that hide behind desks

Em                 G           D               Em
I just want you to know I can see through your masks

Em
You that never have done nothin' but build to destroy

Em
You play with my world like it's your little toy

Em
You put a gun in my hand then you hide from my eyes

Em                    G                D            Em
Then you turn and run farther when the fast bullets fly
[Verse]
Em
Like Judas of old you lie and deceive

Em
A world war can't be won, and you want me to believe

Em
But I see through your eyes and I see through your brain

Em                     G          D            Em
Like I see through the water that runs down my drain

Em
You that fasten all the triggers for the others to fire

Em
Then you sit back and watch while the death count gets higher

Em
You hide in your mansions while the young people's blood

Em                 G             D             Em
Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud
[Verse]
Em
You've thrown the worst fear that can ever be hurled

Em
Fear to bring children into the world

Em
For threatening my baby, unborn and unnamed

Em                  G          D             Em
You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins

Em
How much do I know to talk out of turn

Em
You might say that I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned

Em
But there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than you

Em               G        D             Em
Even Jesus would never forgive what you do
[Verse]
Em
Let me ask you one question:  is your money that good?

Em
Will it buy you forgiveness?  Do you think that it could?

Em
I think you will find when your death takes its toll

Em                 G              D             Em
All the money you made won't ever buy back your soul

Em
And I hope that you die and your death will come soon

Em
I'll follow your casket through the pale afternoon

Em
And I'll watch while you're lowered into your death bed

Em                        G              D                Em
Then I'll stand over your grave till I'm sure that you're dead
