Come you masters of war
Dylan was right then...his words are still relevant today.

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the 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 that have 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
Then 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 runs down my drain

You fasten all the triggers
For others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
when the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansions
As young people's blood
flows out of their bodies
and is buried in the mud

Youve thrown the worst fear
that can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
into this world
For threatening my baby
yet unborn and unamed
YOU JUST AINT WORTH THE BLOOD
THAT RUNS IN YOUR VEINS!

How much do I know,
To talk out of turn
You might say I'm "too young"
You might say I'm "unlearned"
But there's one thing I know,
Though I'm younger than you,
THAT EVEN JESUS WOULD NEVER
FORGIVE WHAT YOU DO!

Let me ask you this question,
Is all your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes it's toll
All the money you've made
Will NEVER buy back your soul!

And I hope that you die
and that your death will come soon
I will follow your casket
on that pale afternoon
and I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stando'er your grave
'till I'm sure that you're dead!
