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 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 all the triggers For the others to fire Then you sit back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion 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 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 That 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 On the day that you die Will you say that we lied Will you say that you won And we were mislead But we'll know the truth By all the we read And nothing will ever bring you back from dead

Oh love, you were a sickly child and how the wind knocked you down. Put on your spurs, swagger around in the desperate kingdom of love. Holy water cannot help you now. Your mysterious eyes cannot help you. Selling your reason will not bring you through the desperate kingdom of love. At the end of this burning world you’ll stand proud, face upheld and I’ll follow you, into heaven or hell and I’ll become as a girl in the desperate kingdom of love.

You that love lovers, this is your home. Welcome home! In the midst of making form, love made this form that melts form, with love for the door, soul the vestibule. Watch the dust grains moving in the light near the window. Their dance is our dance. Their dance is our dance. We rarely hear the inward music, but we’re all dancing to it nevertheless, directed by the one who teaches us, the pure joy of the sun, of the sun Watch the dust grains moving in the light near the window. Their dance is our dance. Their dance is our dance. our music master.

There's a land beyond the river That they call the sweet forever And we only reach that shore by faith's decree One by one we'll gain the portals There to dwell with the immortals When they ring the golden bells for you and me Don't you hear the bells now ringing Don't you hear the angels singing 'Tis the glory hallelujah Jubilee In that far off sweet forever, Just beyond the shining river When they ring the golden bells for you and me We shall know no sin or sorrow In that heaven of tomorrow When our hearts shall sail beyond the silvery sea We shall only know the blessing in peace no more guessing When they ring the golden bells for you and me Don't you hear the bells now ringing Don't you hear the angels singing 'Tis the glory hallelujah Jubilee In that far off sweet forever Just beyond the shining river When they ring the golden bells for you and me When our days shall know their number When in death we sweetly slumber When the King commands the spirit to be free Nevermore with anguish laden We shall reach that lovely Eden When they ring the golden bells for you and me When they ring the golden bells for you and me

I’m frustrated, everything’s over-rated And I can’t take it any more The picture is faded, freedom’s been traded Now we have created this war Standing tall but I feel so small Got to break down this wall What I saw was nothing at all Am I ready for the fall? Where is my calm, Where is my calm Is this the end of the world News of the day got my nerves all frayed Don’t know what to say anymore You better pray that the tidal wave Doesn’t cave in your door We wanna be free of the fear and greed And the false needs they enforce Now we see just how they breed How they lead us off course Why is the truth not getting through Is this the end of the world I’m frustrated, everything’s over rated And I can’t take it anymore I’m frustrated feel like I’ve been sedated Time to wake up once more (Chorus) Nothing can hold me down Your fear won’t turn me around We’ll rise up with a joyful sound Love will be the ever present now

I want to break some laws and expose all the flaws Get the dirt out from my paws and live for a wiser cause Live for a wiser cause I want to get more raw and tell the world what I saw Answer a new call and learn from the fall Learn from the fall I need to rest my head, need to rest my eyes Get out the lead and get rid of the disguise Get rid of the disguise Forget all they said and forgive the lies Know I’m well fed and go beyond the lows and highs Go beyond the low and high You would be surprised when you open up your eyes I want to break some laws and expose all the flaws Get the dirt out from my paws and live for a wiser cause Live for a wiser cause

Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the child’s balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon There is no sense in trying Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn Suicide remarks are torn From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn Plays wasted words, proves to warn That he not busy being born is busy dying Temptation’s page flies out the door You follow, find yourself at war Watch waterfalls of pity roar You feel to moan but unlike before You discover that you’d just be one more Person crying So don’t fear if you hear A foreign sound to your ear It’s alright, Ma, I’m only sighing As some warn victory, some downfall Private reasons great or small Can be seen in the eyes of those that call To make all that should be killed to crawl While others say don’t hate nothing at all Except hatred Disillusioned words like bullets bark As human gods aim for their mark Make everything from toy guns that spark To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark It’s easy to see without looking too far That not much is really sacred While preachers preach of evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge waits Can lead to hundred-dollar plates Goodness hides behind its gates But even the president of the United States Sometimes must have to stand naked An’ though the rules of the road have been lodged It’s only people’s games that you got to dodge And it’s alright, Ma, I can make it Advertising signs they con You into thinking you’re the one That can do what’s never been done That can win what’s never been won Meantime life outside goes on All around you You lose yourself, you reappear You suddenly find you got nothing to fear Alone you stand with nobody near When a trembling distant voice, unclear Startles your sleeping ears to hear That somebody thinks they really found you A question in your nerves is lit Yet you know there is no answer fit To satisfy, insure you not to quit To keep it in your mind and not forget That it is not he or she or them or it That you belong to Although the masters make the rules For the wise men and the fools I got nothing, Ma, to live up to For them that must obey authority That they do not respect in any degree Who despise their jobs, their destinies Speak jealously of them that are free Cultivate their flowers to be Nothing more than something they invest in While some on principles baptized To strict party platform ties Social clubs in drag disguise Outsiders they can freely criticize Tell nothing except who to idolize And then say God bless him While one who sings with his tongue on fire Gargles in the rat race choir Bent out of shape from society’s pliers Cares not to come up any higher But rather get you down in the hole That he’s in But I mean no harm nor put fault On anyone that lives in a vault But it’s alright, Ma, if I can’t please him Old lady judges watch people in pairs Limited in sex, they dare To push fake morals, insult and stare While money doesn’t talk, it swears Obscenity, who really cares Propaganda, all is phony While them that defend what they cannot see With a killer’s pride, security It blows the minds most bitterly For them that think death’s honesty Won’t fall upon them naturally Life sometimes must get lonely My eyes collide head-on with stuffed Graveyards, false gods, I scuff At pettiness which plays so rough Walk upside-down inside handcuffs Kick my legs to crash it off Say okay, I have had enough what else can you show me? And if my thought-dreams could be seen They’d probably put my head in a guillotine But it’s alright, Ma, it’s life, and life only
