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

	You that never done nothin’
	But build to destroy
	You play with my world
	Like it’s your little toy
	You put a gun in my hand
	And you hide from my eyes
	And you turn and run farther
	When the fast bullets fly

	Like Judas of old
	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
	Like I see through the water
	That runs down my drain

	You fasten the triggers
	For the others to fire
	Then you set back and watch
	When the death count gets higher
	You hide in your mansion
	As young people’s blood
	Flows out of their bodies
	And is buried in the mud

	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
	You ain’t worth the blood
	That runs in your veins

	How much do I know
	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
	Even Jesus would never
	Forgive what you do

	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
	All the money you made
	Will never buy back your soul

	And I hope that you die
	And your death’ll come soon
	I will follow your casket
	In the pale afternoon
	And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
	Down to your deathbed
	And I’ll stand o’er your grave
	’Til I’m sure that you’re dead

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

	You that never done nothin'
	But build to destroy
	You play with my world
	Like it' s your little toy
	You put a gun in my hand
	And you hide from my eyes
	And you turn and run farther
	When the fast bullets fly

	Like Judas of old
	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
	Like I see through the water
	That runs down my drain

	You fasten the triggers
	For the others to fire
	Then you set back and watch
	When the death count gets higher
	You hide in your mansion
	As young people' s blood
	Flows out of their bodies
	And is buried in the mud

	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
	You ain' t worth the blood
	That runs in your veins
