Come you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build the big 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 the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion As 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 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'll come soon I will follow your casket In the pale afternoon And I'll watch while you're lowered Down to your deathbed And I'll stand o'er your grave 'Til I'm sure that you're dead
Sleigh bells ring are you listening in the lane snow is glistening A beautiful sight we're happy tonight walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song as we go along walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? we'll say: No man But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire To face unafraid the plans that we've made walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman and pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman until the the other kids knock him down
When it snows ain't it thrilling Though your nose gets a chilling We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland walking in a winter wonderland
Dopamine autoreceptors firing on all cylinder Lilith!
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there Like a puppet on a string
Love is just like a merry-go-round With all the fun of the fair One day I'm feeling down on the ground Then I'm up in the air Are you leading me on Tomorrow will you be gone
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there Like a puppet on a string
I may win on the round-a-bout Then I'll lose on the swings In or out there is never a doubt Just who's pulling the strings I'm all tied up in you But where's it leading me to
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there Like a puppet on a string
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there Like a puppet on a string Like a puppet on a string

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big 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 the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As 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
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'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Sleigh bells ring
are you listening
in the lane
snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
as we go along
walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
we'll say: No man
But you can do the job
when you're in town
Later on
we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
the plans that we've made
walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
and pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
until the the other kids knock him down
When it snows
ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
the Eskimo way
walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
walking in a winter wonderland

I love the internet.
This was also the easiest Bob Dylan song to play ever, and could be heard in streets everywhere!
It was a killer in it's day too!
I can still do 'The lonesome death of Hattie Carroll', which also describes a protest against politicians and big people bashing little people.
I love the internet too, Ed.
Keep strumming Scrobs!
My flatmate has a geetar, perhaps I will try and learn to play it.
I used to play the trumpet!
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there
Like a puppet on a string
Love is just like a merry-go-round
With all the fun of the fair
One day I'm feeling down on the ground
Then I'm up in the air
Are you leading me on
Tomorrow will you be gone
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there
Like a puppet on a string
I may win on the round-a-bout
Then I'll lose on the swings
In or out there is never a doubt
Just who's pulling the strings
I'm all tied up in you
But where's it leading me to
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there
Like a puppet on a string
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly I'll gladly be there
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a string
Wow Ed. The trumpet! I tried but my cheeks weren't up to it. Although I did used to play the bassoon.
Lucien, I am moved.
Oliver, I have moved.
