IntroAm7Verse 1Am7GAm7
Come you masters of war, you that build all the guns
GAm7GAm7
You that build the death planes, you that build all the bombs
GAm7GAm7
You that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks
CGAm7
I just want you to know I can see through your masks.
Verse 2Am7GAm7
You that never done nothing, but build to destroy
GAm7GAm7
You play with my world like it's your little toy
GAm7GAm7
Put a gun in my hands and you hide from my eyes
CGAm7
And you turn and run farther as the fast bullets fly.
Verse 3Am7GAm7
Like Judas of old, you lie and deceive
Am7GAm7A world war can be won, you want me to believe
Am7GAm7
But I see through your eyes and I see through your brain
CGAm7
Like I see through the water that runs down my drain.
Verse 4Am7GAm7
You fasten all the triggers for the others to fire
GAm7GAm7
Then you set back and watch as the death count gets higher
GAm7GAm7
You hide in your mansion, while young people's blood
CGAm7
Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud.
Verse 5
Am7GAm7
You've thrown the worst fear that can ever be hurled
GAm7
Fear to bring children into the world
GAm7
For threatening my baby, unborn and unnamed
CGAm7
Well you ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins.
Verse 6
Am7GAm7
How much do I know to talk out of turn
GAm7
You might say that I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned
GAm7
But there's one thing I know though I'm younger than you
CGAm7
That even Jesus would never forgive what you do.
Verse 7
Am7GAm7
Let me ask you one question, is your money that good?
GAm7
Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could?
GAm7
I think you will find when your death takes its toll
CGAm7
All the money you made will never buy back your soul.
Verse 8
Am7GAm7
And I hope that you die and your death will come soon
GAm7
I will follow your casket in the pale afternoon
Am7
And I'll watch while you're lowered, down to your deathbed
CGAm7
And I'll stand over your grave to make sure that you're dead.
