With God On Our Side
Ton : CEnglish
OCh my name it is nFothiEmn'
My aGge it means lCess
And the cGountry I cCome from
Is cFalled the MidwCest
I was tEmaught aFnd bGrought Cup there
The lFaws to abCide
And that the land that I lFive iEmn
Had GGod on its sCide.
OCh the history books tFell iEmt
They tGell it so wCell
The cGavalries cCharged
The IFndians fCell
The cEmavalrFies GcharCged
The IFndians dCied
Oh the cCountry was yFoungEm
With GGod on its sCide.
WCell the Spanish-AFmericEman
WGar had its dCay
And the CGivil War tCoo
Was sFoon laid aCway
And the nEmames oFf theG heroCes
I was mFade to memorCize
With guns in their hFandsEm
And GGod on their sCide.
Well the First World War boys
It came and it went
And the reason for fighting
I never did get
But I learned to accept it
And accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side.
And Second World War
It came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And called them our friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
Now the Germans now too
Have God on their side.
Now 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.
And now we've got weapons
Of the chemical dust
And if fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And it's shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side.
For many dark hours
I thought about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't do it for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.
And 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
They fall to the floor
If God is on our side
He'll stop the next war.
