Thanks to the old tab for letting me copy and paste the lyrics and
not having to type them all out (although I changed a few words
here and there)

Intro:

Em


Verse(s):

Em
Come you masters of war, you that build all the guns
Em
You that build the death planes, you that build all the bombs
Em
You that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks
Em G Asus4 Em
I just want you to know I can see through your masks


Em
You that never done nothin' but to build and 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 Asus4 Em
Then you turn and run farther when the fast bullets fly


Em
Like Judas of old you lie and deceive
Em
A world war can't be won, you want me to believe
Em
But I see through your eyes and I see through your brain
Em G Asus4 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 young people's blood
Em G Asus4 Em
Flows out of their bodies and gets buried in the mud


Em
You've thrown the worst fear that can ever be hurled
Em
The fear to bring children into this world
Em
For threatening my baby, unborn and unnamed
Em G Asus4 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 Asus4 Em
Even Jesus would never forgive what you do


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 Asus4 Em
All the money you made will never buy back your soul


Em
And I hope that you die and your death will come soon
Em
I'll follow your casket in the pale afternoon
Em
And I'll watch as you're lowered into your death bed
Em G Asus4 Em
Then I'll stand o'er your grave till I'm sure that you're dead
