MASTERS OF WAR Come you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build the big 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 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 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 You fasten the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch When the death count gets higher You 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 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 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 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 will follow your casket In the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed And I'll stand o'er your grave 'Til I'm sure that you're dead | OORLOGSGELEERDEN Oorlogsgeleerden genies van 't kanon ge bouwde torpedos en waterstofbom Ge schuilt achter muren en achter papier maar ik ken ulle kuren en stalen manier Ge hebt nooit nie gewerkt dan in het bedrijf dat mensen vernietigt en aarde verstijft Ge geeft mij een wapen maar ge mijdt mijne blik en fluiten er kogels dan schijt ge van schrik Ge bouwt aan't verderf van leven en land ge steekt met uw streken de wereld in brand Al kan't u nie schillen da k'ulle verwens toch zijt ge ne vloek in de buurt van ne mens Ge zaait uw waanzin die koud is en wreed ge foltert mijn kinderen ge lacht met hun leed En ik weet dat de schepper het denkbeeld verfoeit dat er menselijk bloed door uw aderen vloeit Kreveert voor mijn part en liefst nog vandaag en ik volg uw kist liever rap als te traag En ik u zal u zien zakken in de vredige grond en ik schrijf op uw graven GEVAARLIJKE HOND |
