PEARL JAM

PEARL JAM - Masters of War lyrics

rate me

Come you masters of war

You that build all the guns

You that build the death planes

You that held all the guns

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 nothing

But to build to destroy

You play with my world

Like it's your little toy

You put a drug in my head

Then you hide from my eyes

Then you turn and run following the fast foolish line

Like Judas of old

You lie and decieve

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 that fasten all the triggers

For the others to fire

Then you sit back and watch

While the death count gets higher

You hide in your mansions

While young peoples blood

Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear

That could ever be hurled

The fear to bring children

Into this 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?

Oh 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'll follow your casket

In the pale afternoon

And I'll watch as you're lowered

Into your deathbed

And I'll stand on your grave till I'm sure that you're dead
