Masters of War versuri

Masters of War lyrics by Joan Osborne feat. Jackie Greene, Robert Randolph, Amy Helm

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

Verse 2
You that never done nothing 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
Then you turn and run farther while the fast bullets fly

Verse 3
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

Verse 4
You fasten all the triggers for the others to fire
Then you set back and watch while the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion while the young people’s blood
Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud

Verse 5
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

Verse 6
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

Instrumental Break

Verse 7
One day you will die and your death will come soon
I’ll follow your casket by the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand over your grave ‘til I’m sure that you’re dead

Outro
Thank you so much
