[00:01.16] Bob Dylan - Masters of War
[00:02.73]
[00:03.07] Come you masters of war
[00:07.34] You that build all the guns
[00:11.58] You that build the death planes
[00:16.07] You that build the big bombs
[00:20.33] You that hide behind walls
[00:24.41] You that hide behind desks
[00:28.81] I just want you to know
[00:31.52] I can see through your masks
[00:34.29]
[00:35.57] You that never done nothin'
[00:39.76] But build to destroy
[00:43.85] You play with my world
[00:47.86] Like it's your little toy
[00:52.56] You put a gun in my hand
[00:56.90] And you hide from my eyes
[01:01.07] And you turn and run farther
[01:04.74] When the fast bullets fly
[01:07.92]
[01:08.17] Like Judas of old
[01:11.71] You lie and deceive
[01:16.28] A world war can be won
[01:20.16] You want me to believe
[01:24.78] But I see through your eyes
[01:28.54] And I see through your brain
[01:33.32] Like I see through the water
[01:35.94] That runs down my drain
[01:38.60]
[01:44.20] You fasten the triggers
[01:48.23] For the others to fire
[01:52.54] Then you set back and watch
[01:56.29] When the death count gets higher
[02:00.82] You hide in your mansion
[02:05.24] As young people's blood
[02:07.80] Flows out of their bodies
[02:12.47] And is buried in the mud
[02:15.15]
[02:16.79] You've thrown the worst fear
[02:20.66] That can ever be hurled
[02:24.73] Fear to bring children
[02:29.19] Into the world
[02:33.55] For threatening my baby
[02:37.72] Unborn and unnamed
[02:42.33] You ain't worth the blood
[02:45.02] That runs in your veins
[02:47.39]
[02:51.22] How much do I know
[02:55.49] To talk out of turn
[02:59.32] You might say that I'm young
[03:03.63] You might say I'm unlearned
[03:08.45] But there's one thing I know
[03:12.71] Though I'm younger than you
[03:16.95] Even Jesus would never
[03:19.32] Forgive what you do
[03:21.49]
[03:23.88] Let me ask you one question
[03:27.86] Is your money that good
[03:31.63] Will it buy you forgiveness
[03:36.08] Do you think that it could
[03:40.66] I think you will find
[03:44.60] When your death takes its toll
[03:48.87] All the money you made
[03:51.63] Will never buy back your soul
[03:54.29]
[03:56.11] And I hope that you die
[04:00.27] And your death'll come soon
[04:04.03] I will follow your casket
[04:08.22] In the pale afternoon
[04:13.11] And I'll watch while you're lowered
[04:17.21] Down to your deathbed
[04:20.44] And I'll stand o'er your grave
[04:24.28] 'Til I'm sure that you're dead
[04:27.90]
