Masters Of War
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 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
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 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
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
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
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
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
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

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Joan Baez Song About the Civil War
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Virgil Caine is the name
And I served on the Danville train
‘Til Stoneman’s cavalry came
And they tore up the tracks again
And I served on the Danville train
‘Til Stoneman’s cavalry came
And they tore up the tracks again
In the winter of ’65
We were hungry, just barely alive
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
It’s a time I remember, oh so well
We were hungry, just barely alive
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
It’s a time I remember, oh so well
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all her bells were ringing
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the people were singin’, they went, na na na
And all her bells were ringing
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the people were singin’, they went, na na na
Back with my wife in Tennessee
When one day she called to me
Said, “Virgil, quick, come see
There goes Robert. E. Lee”
When one day she called to me
Said, “Virgil, quick, come see
There goes Robert. E. Lee”
Now, I don’t mind choppin’ wood
And I don’t care if my money’s no good
You take what you need and you leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best
And I don’t care if my money’s no good
You take what you need and you leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all her bells were ringing
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the people were singin’, they went, na na na
And all her bells were ringing
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the people were singin’, they went, na na na
Like my father before me
I will work the land
And like my brother up above me
Who took a rebels stand
I will work the land
And like my brother up above me
Who took a rebels stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
And I swear by the mud below my feet
You can’t raise a Caine back up when he’s in defeat
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
And I swear by the mud below my feet
You can’t raise a Caine back up when he’s in defeat
The night they drove Old Dixie down
When all her bells were ringing
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the people were singin’, they went, na na na
When all her bells were ringing
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the people were singin’, they went, na na na
The night they drove Old Dixie down
When all her bells were ringing
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And you could hear ’em all singin’, they went, na na na
When all her bells were ringing
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And you could hear ’em all singin’, they went, na na na
