With God on Our Side Lyrics

INTRO: C F G C F G C
Oh my name it is nothing my age it means less
The country I come from is called the Midwest
I was taught brought up there the laws too abide
And the land that I live in has God on its side
Oh the history books tell it they tell it so well
The cavalry charged and the Indians fell
The cavalry charged and the Indians died
Oh the country was young and with God on its side
Well the Spanish American War it had its day
And the Civil War too though it was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes I was taught to memorize
With guns in their hands and God on their side
Oh the first World War boys it came and it went
The reason for fighting I never did get
But I learned to accept it and accept it with pride
'Cause you don't the dead boys when God's on your side
When 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
You see the Germans now too had God on their side
I've learned to hate the Russians all through my whole life
And if another wars come 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 our side
INTRO (2x)
Now we got the weapons of chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to then fire them we must
One push of the button and a shot the world wide
No you never ask questions when God's on your side
In a many dark hour I've been thinkin' 'bout this
That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you no you'll have to decide
Whether Judas Escariot had God on his side
So now that 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
But if God's on our side he'll stop the next war
