lyrics

Come you masters of war
you that build the big guns
you that build the jet 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

You that never done nothin'
but build to destroy
you play with my world
like it's your fucking toy

You that 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 could ever be hurled
fear to bring children
into this world

For threatening my baby
he's born and is named
I'll stand over your grave
until you're dead
