With God On Our Side Lyrics

With God On Our Side lyrics

Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come
from
Is called the Midwest
I's taught and brought up there
The laws to
abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side.

Oh the
history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The
Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was
young
With God on its side.

Oh the Spanish-American
War had its
day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the
heroes
I's made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their
side.

Oh the First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The
reason for fighting
I never got straight
But I learned to accept
it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on
your side.

When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the
Germans
And we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the
ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side.

I've
learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war
starts
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and
to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side.

But now we
got weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then
fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And
you never ask questions
When God's on your side.

In a many dark
hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a
kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas
Iscariot
Had God on his side.

So now as I'm leavin'
I'm weary as
Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill
my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next
war.
