Oh, my name it ain't 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...

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...

The First World War.. boys
It came and it went
The reason for fighting
I never did get
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride..
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side...

The Second World War~..
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And then 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 the Russians
All through my whole life
If another war comes
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 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...

Through 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 they fall to the floor~..
That if God's on our side
He'll~ stop the next war~...
