[00:15.84]	Come you masters of war
[00:19.82]	You that build all the guns
[00:24.07]	You that build the death planes
[00:27.91]	You that build the big bombs
[00:32.28]	You that hide behind walls
[00:35.68]	You that hide behind desks
[00:40.37]	I just want you to know
[00:42.71]	I can see through your masks
[00:44.96]
[00:50.94]	You that never done nothin’
[00:55.47]	But build to destroy
[00:59.55]	You play with my world
[01:03.19]	Like it’s your little toy
[01:06.48]	You put a gun in my hand
[01:11.51]	And you hide from my eyes
[01:15.30]	And you turn and run farther
[01:17.94]	When the fast bullets fly
[01:20.04]
[01:26.27]	Like Judas of old
[01:30.35]	You lie and deceive
[01:34.48]	A world war can be won
[01:38.57]	You want us to believe
[01:42.95]	But I see through your eyes
[01:47.20]	And I see through your brain
[01:51.44]	Like I see through the water
[01:53.78]	That runs down my drain
[01:55.52]
[02:05.78]	You fasten the triggers
[02:10.06]	For the others to fire
[02:13.96]	Then you set back and watch
[02:17.89]	When the death count gets higher
[02:22.73]	You hide in your mansion
[02:26.37]	As young people’s blood
[02:30.36]	Flows out of their bodies
[02:32.37]	And is buried in the mud
[02:35.96]
[02:41.09]	You’ve thrown the worst fear
[02:45.07]	That can ever be hurled
[02:49.41]	Fear to bring children
[02:53.49]	Into this world
[02:57.64]	For threatening my baby
[03:01.08]	Unborn and unnamed
[03:05.41]	You ain’t worth the blood
[03:08.15]	That runs in your veins
[03:10.29]
[03:15.83]	How much do I know
[03:20.21]	To talk out of turn
[03:24.09]	You might say that I’m young
[03:27.98]	You might say I’m unlearned
[03:32.16]	But there’s one thing I know
[03:35.85]	Though I’m younger than you
[03:40.40]	Even Jesus would never
[03:42.99]	Forgive what you do
[03:46.47]
[04:04.35]	Let me ask you one question
[04:08.59]	Is your money that good
[04:12.82]	Will it buy you forgiveness
[04:17.00]	Do you think that it could
[04:20.84]	I think you will find
[04:25.38]	When your death takes its toll
[04:29.62]	All the money you made
[04:31.43]	Will never buy back your soul
[04:36.70]
[04:46.17]	And I hope that you die
[04:50.20]	And your death’ll come soon
[04:54.63]	I will follow your casket
[04:58.42]	In the pale afternoon
[05:02.90]	And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
[05:06.29]	Down to your deathbed
[05:10.38]	And I’ll stand o’er your grave
[05:13.02]	’Til I’m sure that you’re dead

[00:15.84]	Come you masters of war
[00:19.82]	You that build all the guns
[00:24.07]	You that build the death planes
[00:27.91]	You that build the big bombs
[00:32.28]	You that hide behind walls
[00:35.68]	You that hide behind desks
[00:40.37]	I just want you to know
[00:42.71]	I can see through your masks
[00:44.96]
[00:50.94]	You that never done nothin'
[00:55.47]	But build to destroy
[00:59.55]	You play with my world
