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 An' you hide from my eyes An' you turn an' 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 thru your eyes An' i see thru your brain Like i see thru the water That runs down my drain. You fasten [all] the triggers For the others to fire Then you sit back an' watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion [As/While] the young people's blood Flows out of their bodies An' is buried in the mud. You've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For [a-]threatenin' my baby Unborn an' unnamed You ain't worth the blood That runs [in/down] your veins. How much do i know To [talk/speak] out of turn You might say that i'm young You might say i'm unlearned But there's one thing i know Tho i'm younger than you That even Jesus [would/will] 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 [That] all the money you made Will never buy back your soul. An' i hope that you die An' your death will come soon I'll follow your casket [On a/By the] pale afternoon An' i'll watch while you're lowered Down to your death bed An' i'll stand over your grave 'Til i'm sure that you're dead. |
