Masters Of War

Am  G Am  G Am  G Am  G Am

[Verse 1]
                 G  Am  G Am
Come you masters of war
               G       Am   G Am
You that build all the guns
                   G     Am     G Am
You that build the death planes
                   G   Am    G Am
You that build the big bombs
                G    Am    G Am
You that hide behind walls
                G    Am    G Am
You that hide behind desks
                G  Am   G Am
I just want you to know
                  G    Am    G Am
I can see through your masks


[Verse 2]
               G    Am      G Am
You that never done nothing
          G    Am    G Am
But build to destroy
              G  Am    G Am
You play with my world
               G      Am  G Am
Like it’s your little toy
                 G  Am   G Am
You put a gun in my hand
                  G  Am   G Am
And you hide from my eyes
                 G   Am      G Am
And you turn and run farther
              G       Am  G Am
When the fast bullets fly


[Verse 3]
           G  Am  G Am
Like Judas of old
            G Am    G Am
You lie and deceive
                G  Am  G Am
A world war can be won
            G    Am    G Am
You want me to believe
                  G    Am   G Am
But I see through your eyes
                  G    Am    G Am
And I see through your brain
                   G   Am    G Am
Like I see through the water
               G  Am    G Am
That runs down my drain


[Verse 4]
           G   Am       G Am
You fasten the triggers
               G  Am   G Am
For the others to fire
                  G   Am    G Am
Then you sit back and watch
                     G    Am     G Am
When the death count gets higher
            G    Am      G Am
You hide in your mansion
         G        Am    G Am
As young people’s blood
             G     Am     G Am
Flows out of their bodies
                 G   Am  G Am
And is buried in the mud


[Verse 5]
                  G     Am   G Am
You’ve thrown the worst fear
              G  Am     G Am
That can ever be hurled
        G     Am       G Am
Fear to bring children
     G   Am    G Am
Into the world
                G  Am   G Am
For threatening my baby
           G Am    G Am
Unborn and unnamed
                G   Am    G Am
You ain’t worth the blood
             G    Am    G Am
That runs in your veins


[Verse 6]
            G Am   G Am
How much do I know
            G  Am   G Am
To talk out of turn
                   G   Am    G Am
You might say that I’m young
                  G Am      G Am
You might say I’m unlearned
                      G Am   G Am
But there’s one thing I know
                   G    Am  G Am
Though I’m younger than you
           G     Am    G Am
Even Jesus would never
             G   Am G Am
Forgive what you do


[Verse 7]
               G   Am       G Am
Let me ask you one question
              G    Am   G Am
Is your money that good
                G  Am       G Am
Will it buy you forgiveness
                  G  Am    G Am
Do you think that it could
            G    Am   G Am
I think you will find
                      G   Am   G Am
When your death takes its toll
              G   Am   G Am
All the money you made
                    G    Am
Will never buy back your soul
