My name it is nothing, my age it means less |
|
The country I come from is a part of the Free West |
|
I was taught and brought up there its laws to abide |
|
And that the 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 |
|
For the country was young with God on its side |
|
Oh the first World War, it came and it went |
|
The reason for fighting I never could get |
|
But I learned to accept it, accept it with pride |
|
For you don't count the dead when God's on your side |
|
And then the second World War, it came to an end |
|
We forgave the Germans and now we are friends |
|
Though they murdered six million, in the ovens they fried |
|
The Germans now, too, have God on their side |
|
But now we have weapons of chemical dust |
|
And if fire them we're forced to, why then fire them we must |
|
One push of the button and a shot the worldwide |
|
And you never ask questions when God's on your side |
|
'tho many a long hour I've thought on this |
|
That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss |
|
But I can't think for you, you will have to decide |
|
Whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side |
|
And now as I leave you, I'm weary as hell |
|
The confusion I'm feelin', there ain't no tongue can tell |
|
The words fill my head and drop to the floor |
|
That if God's on our side, he'll stop the next war. |
