Come you masters of war
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the death plans
You that build all the bombs
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin'
You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
But build to destroy
You play with my world
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
And you turn and run further
When the fast bullets fly
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
You lie and die
A world war can be won
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion'
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
And it is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
That can ever be hurt
Fear to bring children
Fear to bring children
Into the world
into the world
For threatening my baby
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead
'Til I'm sure that you're dead
