"Masters of War" is a song by Bob Dylan, written over the winter of 1962–63 and released on the album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan in the spring of 1963. The song's melody was adapted from the traditional "Nottamun Town". Dylan's lyrics are a protest against the Cold War arms build-up of the early 1960s.
Basis of melody
With many of his early songs, Dylan adapted or "borrowed" melodies from traditional songs. In the case of "Nottamun Town", however, the arrangement was by veteran folksingerJean Ritchie. Unknown to Dylan, the song had been in Ritchie's family for generations, and she wanted a writing credit for her arrangement. In a legal settlement, Dylan's lawyers paid Ritchie $5,000 against any further claims.

You that hide behind walls

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?
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

Come you masters of war That build all the guns That build the death planes That build all the big bombs That hide behind walls That hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks [x2] You that never done nothing 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 Then you turn and run farther when the fast bullets fly [x2] Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won Want me to believe But I see through your eyes Like I see through your brain Like I see through the water that runs down my drain [x2] You fasten all the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch As the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion As the young people's blood Flows out of their bodies and is buried in the mud [x2] Well, you've thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into this world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins [x2] How much do I know To talk out of turn You might say that I'm young Might say I'm unlearned But there's one thing I know Though I'm younger than you Even Jesus would never forgive what you do [x2] Let me ask you a 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 [x2] And I hope that you die And your death'll come soon I’ll follow your casket In the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed
