"Masters of War" is a song by Bob Dylan, written over the winter of 1962-63 and released on the album THE FREEWHEELIN' BOB DYLAN in the spring of 1963. The song's melody was adapted from the traditional "Nottamun Town". Dylan's lyrics are a protest against the Cold War nuclear arms build-up of the early 1960s.
