| [00:06.20] |
Oh my name it is nothin' |
| [00:11.02] |
My age it means less |
| [00:15.73] |
The country I come from |
| [00:20.34] |
Is called the Midwest |
| [00:25.40] |
I's taught and brought up there |
| [00:30.42] |
The laws to abide |
| [00:35.32] |
And that land that I live in |
| [00:39.86] |
Has God on its side. |
| [00:44.96] |
Oh the history books tell it |
| [00:49.87] |
They tell it so well |
| [00:54.80] |
The cavalries charged |
| [00:59.63] |
The Indians fell |
| [01:04.41] |
The cavalries charged |
| [01:09.18] |
The Indians died |
| [01:14.42] |
Oh the country was young |
| [01:19.07] |
With God on its side. |
| [01:26.67] |
Oh the Spanish-American |
| [01:31.64] |
War had its day |
| [01:36.05] |
And the Civil War too |
| [01:40.85] |
Was soon laid away |
| [01:45.79] |
And the names of the heroes |
| [01:50.52] |
I's made to memorize |
| [01:55.53] |
With guns in their hands |
| [02:00.32] |
And God on their side. |
| [02:08.65] |
Oh the First World War, boys |
| [02:13.81] |
It closed out its fate |
| [02:17.48] |
The reason for fighting |
| [02:22.05] |
I never got straight |
| [02:26.66] |
But I learned to accept it |
| [02:31.73] |
Accept it with pride |
| [02:36.99] |
For you don't count the dead |
| [02:41.61] |
When God's on your side. |
| [02:46.45] |
When the Second World War |
| [02:51.24] |
Came to an end |
| [02:56.00] |
We forgave the Germans |
| [03:00.87] |
And we were friends |
| [03:06.46] |
Though they murdered six million |
| [03:10.93] |
In the ovens they fried |
| [03:15.76] |
The Germans now too |
| [03:20.22] |
Have God on their side. |
| [03:27.56] |
I've learned to hate Russians |
| [03:32.06] |
All through my whole life |
| [03:36.89] |
If another war starts |
| [03:41.89] |
It's them we must fight |
| [03:46.47] |
To hate them and fear them |
| [03:51.45] |
To run and to hide |
| [03:56.53] |
And accept it all bravely |
| [04:01.02] |
With God on my side. |
| [04:08.39] |
But now we got weapons |
| [04:13.14] |
Of the chemical dust |
| [04:18.18] |
If fire them we're forced to |
| [04:23.16] |
Then fire them we must |
| [04:27.83] |
One push of the button |
| [04:33.13] |
And a shot the world wide |
| [04:37.79] |
And you never ask questions |
| [04:42.21] |
When God's on your side |
| [04:48.21] |
In a many dark hour |
| [04:52.80] |
I've been thinkin' about this |
| [04:56.88] |
That Jesus Christ |
| [05:01.55] |
Was betrayed by a kiss |
| [05:07.02] |
But I can't think for you |
| [05:12.12] |
You'll have to decide |
| [05:16.52] |
Whether Judas Iscariot |
| [05:21.32] |
Had God on his side. |
| [05:29.22] |
So now as I'm leavin' |
| [05:33.70] |
I'm weary as Hell |
| [05:38.32] |
The confusion I'm feelin' |
| [05:44.02] |
Ain't no tongue can tell |
| [05:48.72] |
The words fill my head |
| [05:53.53] |
And fall to the floor |
| [05:58.37] |
If God's on our side |
| [06:02.73] |
He'll stop the next war. |
