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
We can see through your masks
You ain't never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with our world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from our eyes
And you turn and run faster
While the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You just lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want us to believe
But we see through your eyes
And we see through your brain
Like we see through the water
That's runnin' down my drain
You fashion the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
While the death toll grows higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening our babies
Unborn and unnamed
Oh, you ain't worth the blood
That is runnin' through your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might think I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
And I know that it's true
I know Jesus would never
Condone what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
That all the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
But the old way must end
And its end will come soon
As the people on earth
All learn a new tune
You won't await us with fear
Or control us with guns
For a new day is dawning
When the old live is run
