Pearl Jam On The Late Show w/ Letterman
- Date: Sep 29,2008
Pearl Jam performs Masters Of War live on the late show with David Letterman. Eddie Vedder and company give a chilling rendition of the Bob Dylan Classic.
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

Eddie the Vedderman on letterman how cool

Fantastica…semplicemente fantastica!!
avantexec your a biblical sheep just like the other brainwashed idiots war isnt needed
best comment ever - love PJ
that was awesome
The bible is not the work of a god but the rantings of genocidal, intolerant madmen some 2000 years ago & has done nothing but divided & caused suffering for humanity ever since..
great opinion ever—-pearl jam has always been in the face of big daddy and I applaud them for it
Pearl Jam doing a Bob Dylan, this is probably the best video in the whole of Youtube.
Interestingly Bush is compared to Hitler who is known for wanting to take over Europe and get rid of all of the Jews.
The Jews, children of Isreal, were known to do a little bit of genocide themselves. God commanded them to wipe out the Philistines. You know when the walls of Jericho came down they killed every man, woman, and child.
War is bad but sometimes necessary, especially when God given rights are being obliterated.
Probably the best song ever written such truth in it only if it could actually make people wake up!!!!!
gOLOmalakian = bush
BUSH = HITLER
