28 Dec 02 - 10:43 PM (#854816) Subject: RE: masters of war tab From: Art Thieme This tune goes 40 or 50 years back and counting----Long before Dylan's song. This was "NOTTAMUN TOWN" as sung by Jean Ritchie (KyTrad here at Mudcat) and her wonderfully musical family from Viper, Kentucky. I find myself wondering now at this late date if the Ritchie family ever got credit for being the source for Bob's tune!?!?!? Art |

23 Jun 25 - 12:02 PM (#4224592) Subject: Lyr Add: Masters of War (Dylan) From: voyager a bit of interpretation here (from Wikipedia) - On January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his farewell address from the Oval Office. In this speech, he warned that "we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex."[28] In an interview, published in USA Today on September 10, 2001, Dylan linked his song to Eisenhower's speech, saying: "Masters of War"… is supposed to be a pacifistic song against war. It's not an anti-war song. It's speaking against what Eisenhower was calling a military-industrial complex as he was making his exit from the presidency. That spirit was in the air, and I picked it up.[29] Curiously, the B-2 bombers that dropped payload on IRAN were a flashpoint of development controversy going back to the 1980s .... Masters of War (Dylan - 1963) -------------------------------- MASTERS OF WAR (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 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 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 voyager |
