"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.[1] The song's melody was adapted from the traditional "Nottamun Town."[2] Dylan's lyrics are a protest against the Cold War nuclear arms build-up of the early 1960s.[3]
