lyrics

Come you masters of war
You that build (make) all the guns
You that build the death (jet) planes
You that build (make) (all) the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know (that)
I can see through your masks

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the (this) world
(And) For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs (flows) in your veins

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do (Did) you think that it could?
(When its all over) I think you will find
When your (And) death takes its toll
All the money you make
Will never buy back your soul

And (So) 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
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure (that) you're dead

And I'll stand by your grave
'Til I'm sure you're dead
