8. MASTERS OF WAR Bob Dylan Continuiamo con le canzoni che non hanno alcun bisogno di presentazione… 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 * I SIGNORI DELLA GUERRA Versione italiana di Fausto Amodei Voi, signori di guerra che riempite oramai solo più gli arsenali e vuotate i granai anche se vi celate dietro i vostri scrittoi strapperemo la maschera ch'è in faccia a voi. Distruggete la terra con la tranquillità di un bambino che rompe i balocchi che ha, ci mandate a sparare ma scappate poi là dove mai nessun colpo vi raggiungerà. Come Giuda mentite ed i vostri lacchè dicon frasi fiorite per far credere che una guerra mondiale noi la si vincerà ma io so che non è questa la verità. Ché chi avrà da sparare no, non sarete voi voi starete a contare i caduti e gli eroi a esaltare commossi le trascorse virtù di chi è morto nel fiore della gioventù. Voi mettete paura la peggiore che c'è

8. MASTERS OF WAR<br />

Bob Dy<strong>la</strong>n<br />

Continuiamo con le canzoni che non hanno alcun bisogno di presentazione…<br />

Come you masters of war<br />

You that build all the guns<br />

You that build the death p<strong>la</strong>nes<br />

You that build the big bombs<br />

You that hide behind walls<br />

You that hide behind desks<br />

I just want you to know<br />

I can see through your masks<br />

You that never done nothin'<br />

But build to destroy<br />

You p<strong>la</strong>y with my world<br />

Like it's your little toy<br />

You put a gun in my hand<br />

And you hide from my eyes<br />

And you turn and run farther<br />

When the fast bullets fly<br />

Like Judas of old<br />

You lie and deceive<br />

A world war can be won<br />

You want me to believe<br />

But I see through your eyes<br />

And I see through your brain<br />

Like I see through the water<br />

That runs down my drain<br />

You fasten the triggers<br />

For the others to fire<br />

Then you set back and watch<br />

When the death count gets higher<br />

You hide in your mansion<br />

As young people's blood<br />

Flows out of their bodies<br />

And is buried in the mud<br />

You've thrown the worst fear<br />

That can ever be hurled<br />

Fear to bring children<br />

Into the world<br />

For threatening my baby<br />

Unborn and unnamed<br />

You ain't worth the blood<br />

That runs in your veins
