With God on Our Side

Oh my name it is nothin'my age it mean less            The country I come from is called the Midwest       I's t(aug)ht and brought up there The laws to abide      And that land that I live in Has God on its side.         Oh the history book tell it they tell it so well            The cavalries charged and the Indians fell        The cavalries charged and the Indians died        Oh the country was young with God on its side.         Oh the Spanish-American war had its day             And the Civil War too was soon laid away        And the names of the heroes I was made to memorize       With guns in their hands and god on their side.          The First World War, boys it closed out its fate            The reason for fighting I never got straight         But I learned to accept it, accept it with pride        And you don't count the dead when God's on your side.     But now we got weapons of the chemical dust              If fire them we're forced to, then fire we must        One push of the button and shot the world wide          And you never ask questions when God's on his side           In a 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         Who words fill my head and fall to the floor        If God's on our side he'll stop the next war.
