Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the 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 have done nothin'
but build to destroy
You play with my world
like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hands
then you hide from my eyes
Then 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 that fasten all the triggers
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
Flows out of their bodies and gets buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
that can ever be hurled
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 won't ever buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
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
Then I'll stand over your grave till I'm sure that you're dead
