Masters Of War
Written by: Bob Dylan
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 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

Secrets #Poetry
I can see all of your truths imprinted on your skin
And I’m going to feel them with my fingers,
taste them with my lips
I’m going to see every little detail
