Masters of War
Song by Bob Dylan

Lyrics
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
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
We would not care to wake up to the nightmare
That's becomin' real life, mmm
But when misled, who knows a person's mind
Can turn as cold as ice, mmm-hmm
Why do you keep on making us hear your song
Tellin' us how you are changin' right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

BACKWOODSMAN,
Here are 2 verses and chorus from Man in the mask that explains the connection to Putin and his western opponents
Chorus:
They say it's his face, but I just can't believe it.
It looks like a mask that I saw in the store.
It talks with deep feeling about ending some war
And stopping inflation, and it's so fantastic,
You'll cry while you're laughing, and roll on the floor.

Every four years he puts a new mask on.
Each one is worse than the one he had before,
But the words are the same and the same earnest manner,
About ending inflation and stopping the war.

The sponsors paid out a million of millions
To get him up there with his magic routine,
But it's really a bargain, 'cause there's such a margin
In war and inflation and the big T.V. screen
That gives us The Man in the Mask.
Backwoodsman. again it applies to Putin and his opponents in the west

here is the relvant part from the Stevie wonder songBut you brought this upon yourself
The world is trying to pacify
We want the truth and nothing else, yeah
And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Tellin' how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
You haven't done nothin'
Jackson 5 join along with me say
Doo-doo-wop, hey-hey-hey
Doo-doo-wop, whoa-whoa-whoa
Doo-doo-wop, mm-mm-mm
Doo-doo-wop, oh-oh-oh
Doo-doo-wop, bum-bum-bum
Doo-doo-wop
We would not care to wake up to the nightmare
That's becomin' real life, mmm
But when misled, who knows a person's mind
Can turn as cold as ice, mmm-hmm
Why do you keep on making us hear your song
Tellin' us how you are changin' right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
IMO GARGOYLES SONG
along with most of the other efforts are not in the same class as Masters of War
