Masters of War - Bob Dylan

Masters of War

Bob Dylan


Lyrics:
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

----------------------------------------------- 
Letra: 
Vengan, amos de la guerra,
ustedes que fabrican las armas,
ustedes que fabrican los mortíferos aviones,
ustedes que fabrican las grandes bombas,
ustedes que se esconden tras los muros,
ustedes que se esconden detrás de los escritorios.
Solo quiero que sepan
que puedo ver a través de sus máscaras.

Ustedes que no han hecho nunca nada
salvo construir para destruir.
Ustedes juegan con mi mundo
como si fuera vuestro pequeño juguete.
Ponen una pistola en mi mano
y se esconden de mi vista,
se dan la vuelta y huyen lejos
cuando las balas veloces vuelan.

Como el Judas de antaño,
mienten y engañan.
Una guerra mundial puede ser ganada,
es lo que desean que yo crea,
pero veo a través de sus ojos
y a través de su mente
así como puedo ver a través del agua,
esa que corre por mi drenaje.

Ustedes preparan los gatillos
para que otros los disparen,
luego se apartan y esperan
a que el conteo de muertes aumente.
Se esconden en su mansión
mientras la sangre de los jóvenes
se escapa de sus cuerpos
y se hunde en el barro.

Ustedes extendieron el peor miedo
que jamás se haya propagado,
el miedo de traer niños
a este mundo.
Por haber amenazado a mi hijo
sin nacer y sin un nombre,
ustedes no valen la sangre
que corre por sus venas.

Cuánto sabré yo
para hablar así a destiempo.
Podrán decir que soy joven,
podrán decir que soy un ignorante,
pero hay algo que sí sé
aunque sea más joven que ustedes:
ni siquiera Jesús, jamás,
perdonaría lo que hacen.

Déjenme hacerles una pregunta:
¿Es tan bueno su dinero?,
¿comprará con éste su perdón?
¿creen que lo hará?
Pienso que se darán cuenta,
cuando su muerte cobre su parte,
que todo el dinero que hicieron
jamás les comprará de vuelta su alma.

Y espero que mueran,
que su muerte llegue pronto.
Acompañaré sus ataúdes
en una pálida tarde,
y observaré mientras son bajados
hacia su lecho de muerte.
Y me quedaré parado sobre sus tumbas
hasta estar seguro de que estén muertos.

Lazy Sod - Deep Purple

 Lazy Sod Deep Purple Lyrics: The world’s on fire And I can’t get my arse out of bed The world is on fire There’s smoke all around my head   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night……   The oceans are rising And I can’t do a thing about that So it’s hardly surprising I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, you can like it or not I’m guessing not   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot, so hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, Whether you like it, like it or not And I’m guessing not Soooo what  ------------------------------------------...

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Portable Door - Deep Purple

 Portable Door Deep Purple Lyrics: When it came to me one day in Jerksville Man, I was right on the edge That jacket's too small for a man of your size And those socks are too big for your head   My eyes glaze at whatever you say But I'm listening, do tell me more It goes under the bridge, right over my head And out through my portable door   I was trapped in a dire situation Between reason and someone-in-law The winner takes all and runs off with the ball Nothing could pleasure me more   Times were, I'd have spoken my piece For a minute or two held the floor But I can't get a word in so here I am hurtling Right out through my portable door   The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad For once in my life I am bored The public house beckons, I follow the call And slip in through my portable door   The unlikely event came upon me I wasn't prepared for the shock Once round my neck and twice round ...
