Am               Am Am7       Am                     Am7 Am
Come you masters of war, you that build the big guns
Am                      Am Am7 Am                             Am7 Am
You that build the death planes, you that build all the bombs
Am                     Am Am7 Am                        Am7 Am
You that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks
Am     C           G          F                Am     Am7 Am
I just want you to know I can see through your masks

Am               Am Am7   Am                           Am7 Am
You that never have done nothin' but build to destroy
Am       Am Am7 Am                      Am7 Am
You play with my world like it's your little toy
Am               Am Am7 Am                             Am7 Am
You put a gun in my hand then you hide from my eyes
Am     C           G          F                Am     Am7 Am
Then you turn and run farther when the fast bullets fly

Am     Am Am7 Am              Am7 Am
Like Judas of old you lie and deceive
Am               Am Am7 Am                             Am7 Am
A world war can't be won, and you want me to believe
Am                 Am Am7 Am                               Am7 Am
But I see through your eyes and I see through your brain
Am     C           G          F                Am     Am7 Am
Like I see through the water that runs down my drain

Am               Am Am7 Am                         Am7 Am
You that fasten all the triggers for the others to fire
Am                 Am Am7 Am                                      Am7 Am
Then you sit back and watch while the death count gets higher
Am                 Am Am7 Am                               Am7 Am
You hide in your mansions while the young people's blood
Am     C         G        F              Am     Am7 Am
Flows out of their bodies and gets buried in the mud

Am               Am Am7 Am                            Am7 Am
You've thrown the worst fear that can ever be hurled
Am    Am Am7 Am                Am7 Am
Fear to bring children into the world
Am         Am Am7 Am                       Am7 Am
For threatening my baby, unborn and unnamed
Am     C      G          F           Am     Am7 Am
You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins

Am      Am Am7 Am                  Am7 Am
How much do I know to talk out of turn
Am               Am Am7 Am                                   Am7 Am
You might say that I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned
Am               Am Am7 Am                                  Am7 Am
But there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than you
Am     C       G       F          Am     Am7 Am
Even Jesus would never forgive what you do

Am               Am Am7 Am                             Am7 Am
Let me ask you one question:  is your money that good?
Am               Am Am7 Am                            Am7 Am
Will it buy you forgiveness?  Do you think that it could?
Am               Am Am7 Am                        Am7 Am
I think you will find when your death takes its toll
Am     C           G          F                Am     Am7 Am
All the money you made won't ever buy back your soul

Am               Am Am7 Am                              Am7 Am
And I hope that you die and your death will come soon
Am           Am Am7 Am                        Am7 Am
I'll follow your casket through the pale afternoon
Am               Am Am7 Am                               Am7 Am
And I'll watch while you're lowered into your death bed
Am     C             G           F                   Am     Am7 Am
Then I'll stand over your grave till I'm sure that you're dead
