Master of wars

(Capo 2)

[Verse 1]

Am G Am G

Come you masters of war

Am G Am G

You that build the big guns

Am G Am G

You that build the death planes

Am G Am G

You that build all the bombs

Am G Am G

You that hide behind walls

Am G Am G

You that hide behind desks

Am G Bm Em

I just want you to know I can see through your

Am G Am G

masks

(Repeat for following verses)

[Verse 2]

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 hand then you hide from my eyes

Then you turn and run farther when the fast bullets fly

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

You that fasten all the triggers for the others to fire

Then you sit back and watch while 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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

And I hope that you die and your death will come soon

I'll follow your casket through the pale afternoon

And I'll watch while you're lowered into your death-bed

Then I'll stand over your grave till I'm sure that you're

Dead
