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
 Note: There are a few embelishments in some of the other verses.
 He sometimes throws in a G/B: x20030 after the Csus2 and there are some other little
 in there but you can play the song using the above sequence ok.
