Fahrenheit 9/11 movie - Masters Of War lyrics

rate me

Song by Pearl Jam<br /><br>

Come you masters of war, you that build all the guns<br>

You that build the death place, you that build all the guns<br>

You that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks<br>

I just want you to know, I can see through your masks<br>

<br>

You that never done nothing, but to build and destroy<br>

You play with my world, like it's your little toy<br>

You put a gun in my hand, then you hide from my eyes<br>

And you turn and run farther as the fast bullets fly<br>

<br>

Like judas of old, you lie and deceive<br>

A world war can be won, and you want me to believe<br>

But I see through your eyes, and I see through your brain<br>

Like I see through the water that runs down my drain<br>

<br>

You that fasten all the triggers, for the others to fire<br>

Then you sit back and watch, while the death count gets higher<br>

You hide in your mansion, while young people's blood<br>

Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud<br>

<br>

You've thrown the worst fear, that could ever be hurled<br>

The fear to bring children, into this world<br>

For threatenin' my baby, unborn and unnamed<br>

You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins<br>

<br>

How much do I know, to talk out of turn?<br>

You might say that I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned<br>

But there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than you<br>

Even Jesus would never forgive what you do<br>

<br>

Let me ask you one question, is your money that good?<br>

Will it buy you forgiveness? do you think that it could?<br>

Oh, I think you will find, when your death takes its toll<br>

All the money you made will never buy back your soul<br>

<br>

And I hope that you die, and your death will come soon<br>

I'll follow your casket, in the pale afternoon<br>

And I'll watch as your lowered, into your deathbed<br>

And I'll stand on your grave till I'm sure that your dead<br>

<br>
