john corigliano - masters of war lyrics

Loading...

come, come, 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
come, come, come you masters of war
i just want you to know
i can see through your masks

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
and you hide from my eyes
and you turn and run farther
when the fast bullets fly

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 mansions
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 my baby
unborn and unnamed
you ain’t worth the blood
that runs in your veins

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 will come soon
i will 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
