Masters of War - RPWL

Come you masters of war

You that build all the guns

You that build the death planes

You that build that 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 can 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 run down my drain

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 will come soon

I will follow your casket

In the pale afternoon

And I’ll watch while you’re lowered

Down to your deathbed

I stand over your grave till I’m sure that you’re death
