Masters Of War by Bob Dylan

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 (1)____________ desks
I just-a 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 (2)________ bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A (3)__________ war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through (4)________ brain
Like I see through the (5)__________ (6)________ runs down my drain

You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
While the death count (7)________ higher
You hide in your mansion
While (8)__________ people's blood
Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud

You've (9)____________ the worst fear
That can (10)________ be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatenin' my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins

How (11)________ do I know
A-to talk out of turn?
You might say (12)________ I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one (13)__________ I know
Though I'm (14)______________ than you
That even Jesus would never forgive (15)________ you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you (16)__________ that it could?
An' I think you (17)________ find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you (18)________ will never buy back (19)________ soul

An' I hope that you die
And your death (20)________ (21)________ soon
I'll follow (22)________ casket
On a (23)________ afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your death bed
And I'll (24)__________ over your (25)__________ (26)________ I'm sure (27)________ you're dead
