[Verse]
Am
Come you masters of war
G Am
You that build the big guns
G Am
You that build the death planes
G Am
You that build all the bombs
G Am
You that hide behind walls
G Am
You that hide behind desks
Am C G Am
I just want you to know I can see through your masks
Am
You that never have done nothin'
G Am
but build to destroy
G Am
You play with my world
G Am
like it's your little toy
G Am
You put a gun in my hands
G Am
then you hide from my eyes
Am C G Am
Then you turn and run farther as the fast bullets fly
Am
Like Judas of old
G Am
you lie and deceive
G Am
A war can be won
G Am
you want me to believe
G Am
But I see through your eyes
G Am
and I see through your brain
Am C G Am
Like I see through the water that runs down my drain
Am
You that fasten all the triggers
G Am
for the others to fire
G Am
Then you sit back and watch
G Am
as the death count gets higher
G Am
You hide in your mansions
G Am
while the young people's blood
Am C G Am
Flows out of their bodies and gets buried in the mud
Am
You've thrown the worst fear
that can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
into the world
For threatening my baby
unborn and unnamed
G C Am G
Well you ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins
Am
How much do I know
G Am
to talk out of turn
G Am
You might say that I'm young
G Am
you might say I'm unlearned
G Am
But there's one thing I know
G Am
though I'm younger than you
Am G Am
Even Jesus would never forgive what you do
Am
Let me ask you one question
G Am
is your money that good?
G Am
Will it buy you forgiveness
G Am
Do you think that it could?
G Am
I think you will find
G Am
when your death takes its toll
Am C G Am
All the money you made won't ever buy back your soul
Am
And I hope that you die
G Am
and your death will come soon
G Am
I'll follow your casket
G Am
In the pale afternoon
G Am
And I'll watch as you're lowered
Am
Down to your death-bed
Am C G Am
Then I'll stand over your grave to make sure that you're dead
