Come masters of war
You that build all the 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've 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
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
Just like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten on 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 young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fears
That could ever be hurled
That's fear to bring children
Into this world
For threatenin' my baby
Unborn and unnamed
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
So let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
Oh, 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
On the pale afternoon
And I'll watch as you're lowered
In to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
Til I'm sure that you're dead
You that build all the 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've 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
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

But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Just like I see through the water
