1
Oh my name it is nothin'
2
My age it means less
3
The country I come from
4
Is called the Midwest
5
I's taught and brought up there
6
The laws to abide
7
And that land that I live in
8
Has God on its side.
9
Oh the history books tell it
10
They tell it so well
11
The cavalries charged
12
The Indians fell
13
The cavalries charged
14
The Indians died
15
Oh the country was young
16
With God on its side.
17
Oh the Spanish-American
18
War had its day
19
And the Civil War too
20
Was soon laid away
21
And the names of the heroes
22
I's made to memorize
23
With guns in their hands
24
And God on their side.
25
Oh the First World War, boys
26
It closed out its fate
27
The reason for fighting
28
I never got straight
29
But I learned to accept it
30
Accept it with pride
31
For you don't count the dead
32
When God's on your side.
33
When the Second World War
34
Came to an end
35
We forgave the Germans
36
And we were friends
37
Though they murdered six million
38
In the ovens they fried
39
The Germans now too
40
Have God on their side.
41
I've learned to hate Russians
42
All through my whole life
43
If another war starts
44
It's them we must fight
45
To hate them and fear them
46
To run and to hide
47
And accept it all bravely
48
With God on my side.
49
But now we got weapons
50
Of the chemical dust
51
If fire them we're forced to
52
Then fire them we must
53
One push of the button
54
And a shot the world wide
55
And you never ask questions
56
When God's on your side.
57
In a many dark hour
58
I've been thinkin' about this
59
That Jesus Christ
60
Was betrayed by a kiss
61
But I can't think for you
62
You'll have to decide
63
Whether Judas Iscariot
64
Had God on his side.
65
So now as I'm leavin'
66
I'm weary as Hell
67
The confusion I'm feelin'
68
Ain't no tongue can tell
69
The words fill my head
70
And fall to the floor
71
If God's on our side
72
He'll stop the next war.
