Verse 1
Am 
Come you masters of war,
you that build the big guns
You that build the dead planes,
you that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
and hide behind desks
C 
I want you to know
G 
Am 
we can see through your masks
You've never done nothing
but build to destroy
You play with my world
Like twist your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
C 
Then you turn and run far
G 
Am 
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old, you lie and deceive
A world war can be won,
you want me to believe
But I see through your eyes,
and I see through your brain
C 
Like I see through the water
G 
Am 
that runs  down my drain
You fasten the triggers
for the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
while the dead count gets higher
You hide in your mansions
while the young people's blood
C 
It flows out of their bodies
G 
Am 
and into the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
that can ever be hurled
I fear to bring children into the world
For threatening my babies,
unborn and unnamed
Well you're not worth the blood
C 
G 
Am 
that runs in your veins
How much do I know to talk out of turn?
You might say that I'm young,
you might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know,
though I'm younger than you
C 
Even Jesus would never
G 
Am 
forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it could?
Well, I think that you'll find
When your death takes its toll
C 
All the money you've made
G 
Am 
It can't buy back your soul
C 
No, all the money you've made
Am 
G 
Am 
It won't buy back your soul
And I hope that you die,
and your death will come soon
And I'll follow your coffin,
in the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lured,
onto your deathbed
I'll stand over your grave
C 
G 
Am 
to make sure that you're dead
