With God on Our Side

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 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
 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 was 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 fightin' 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 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've got weapons of chemical dust
 If fire them we're forced to, then fire them we must
 One push of the button and they shot the world wide
 And you never ask questions when God's on your side
 ♪
 Through many dark hour I 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
