Intro: Am G7 x3 Am C G7 Am
G7Come you masters of war Am G7
G7You that build the big gunsAm G7
G7You that build the death planes Am G7
G7You that build all the bombAms G7
G7You that hide behind walls Am G7
G7You that hide behind desks Am
AmI just want yoCu tG7o know AmI can see through your masks
G7You that never have done nothin' Am G7
G7but build to destroy Am G7
G7You play with my world Am G7
G7like it's your little toy Am G7
G7You put a gun in my hands Am G7
G7then you hide from my eyes Am
AmThen you turn Cand G7run farthAmer when the fast bullets fly
G7Like Judas of old Am G7
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
AmLike I see thrCoughG7 the wateAmr that runs down my drain
G7You that fasten all the triggers Am G7
for the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
as the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansions
while the young people's blood
AmFlows out of tCheirG7 bodies aAmnd gets buried in the mud
G7You've thrown the worst fear Am G7
that can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
into the world
For threatening my baby
unborn and unnamed
AmYou ain't wortCh the blood that runs in yourG7 veins Am
G7How much do I know Am G7
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
AmEven Jesus wouCld never forgive what you G7do Am
Let me ask you one question
is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
when your death takes its toll
AmAll the money you made won'tC ever buy back yourG7 soul Am
G7And I hope that you die Am G7
and your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your death-bed
AmThen I'll stand over your grave till CI'm sure that you're dG7ead Am
