Lyrics for Masters of War by Bob Dylan:
| | | Artist: | Bob Dylan |
| | Album: | The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan | | Track: | Masters of War | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 175 | | | | Lyrics: | by Bob Dylan
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
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
And 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 the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death
count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As 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 my baby
Unborn and
unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I
know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm
unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would
never
Forgive 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
All the money you made
Will never buy back your
soul
And I hope that you die
And your death'll 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
