With God On Our Side

My name, it means nothing, my age, it means less
 And the country I come from is called the Midwest
 Was brought up there and taught there the law 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 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 taught to memorize
 With their guns in their hands and God on their side
 Well, World War One, it came and it went
 The reason for fighting I never did get
 But I learned to accept it and accept it with pride
 For you don't count the dead when God's on your side
 And the Second World War, boys, it came to an end
 We forgave the Germans and called them our friends
 Though they killed six million, in the ovens they fried
 The Germans now, too, have God on their side
 Oh, I've learned to hate Russians all through my whole life
 If another war starts, 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
 And now we got weapons of the chemical dust
 If fire them we're forced to, then fire them we must
 One push of the button, we've shot the world wide
 And you never ask questions when God's on your side
 For many long years I've thought about this
 That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss
 I can't do it for you, you've got to decide
 Whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side
 And now, as I'm leavin', I'm weary as hell
 The confusion I'm feelin' no tongue can tell
 The words fill my head and they fall to the floor
 If God is on our side he'll stop the next war
