| [00:11.35] |
Oh my name it ain't nothin' |
| [00:17.78] |
My age it means less |
| [00:22.49] |
The country I come from |
| [00:26.72] |
Is called the midwest |
| [00:31.44] |
I was taught and brought up there |
| [00:36.38] |
The laws to abide |
| [00:40.96] |
And that land that I live in |
| [00:45.45] |
Has god on its side |
| [00:54.59] |
Oh the history books tell it |
| [00:59.82] |
They tell it so well |
| [01:04.44] |
The cavalries charged |
| [01:09.21] |
The indians fell |
| [01:13.60] |
The cavalries charged |
| [01:18.58] |
The indians died |
| [01:23.24] |
Oh the country was young |
| [01:27.68] |
With god on its side |
| [01:37.30] |
The spanish american |
| [01:43.56] |
War had its day |
| [01:48.00] |
And the civil war too |
| [01:50.50] |
Was soon laid away |
| [01:56.23] |
And the names of the heroes |
| [02:00.79] |
I was made to memorize |
| [02:06.78] |
With guns in their hands |
| [02:11.56] |
And god on their side |
| [02:25.00] |
The first world war boys |
| [02:30.52] |
It came and it went |
| [02:35.21] |
The reason for fighting |
| [02:39.80] |
I never did get |
| [02:44.44] |
But I learned to accept it |
| [02:49.04] |
Accept it with pride |
| [02:53.54] |
For you don't count the dead |
| [02:56.96] |
When god's on your side |
| [03:08.33] |
The second world war |
| [03:13.41] |
Came to an end |
| [03:17.79] |
We forgave the germans |
| [03:22.01] |
And then we were friends |
| [03:27.26] |
Though they murdered six million |
| [03:31.80] |
In the ovens they fried |
| [03:35.93] |
The germans now too |
| [03:39.04] |
Have god on their side |
| [03:49.59] |
I've learned to hate the russians |
| [03:55.16] |
All through my whole life |
| [04:00.34] |
If another war comes |
| [04:04.64] |
It's them we must fight |
| [04:09.71] |
To hate them and fear them |
| [04:14.36] |
To run and to hide |
| [04:18.66] |
And accept it all bravely |
| [04:23.22] |
With god on my side |
| [04:35.26] |
But now we got weapons |
| [04:40.63] |
Of chemical dust |
| [04:46.26] |
If fire them we're forced to |
| [04:51.62] |
Then fire them we must |
| [04:55.97] |
One push of the button |
| [05:01.62] |
And a shot the world wide |
| [05:06.29] |
And you never ask questions |
| [05:10.49] |
When god's on your side |
| [05:23.97] |
Through many a dark hour |
| [05:29.77] |
I've been thinkin' about this |
| [05:34.39] |
That Jesus Christ was |
| [05:39.96] |
Betrayed by a kiss |
| [05:45.53] |
But I can't think for you |
| [05:50.59] |
You'll have to decide |
| [05:54.73] |
Whether Judas Iscariot |
| [05:59.02] |
Had god on his side |
| [06:11.02] |
So now as I'm leavin' |
| [06:17.06] |
I'm weary as hell |
| [06:21.64] |
The confusion I'm feelin' |
| [06:26.61] |
Ain't no tongue can tell |
| [06:31.50] |
The words fill my head |
| [06:36.35] |
And fall to the floor |
| [06:40.93] |
That if god's on our side |
| [06:46.41] |
He'll stop the next war |
