With God on Our Side

Artist：bob dylan

Songs Title：with god on our side

Oh my name it is nothin

My age it means less

The country I come from

Is called the midwest

Its taught and brought up there

The laws to abide

And that land that I live in

Has God on its side

Oh the history books tell it

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

Is made to memorize

With guns in their hands

And God on their side

Oh 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

For you don't count the dead

When gods on your side

When the second world war

Came to an end

We forgave the germans

And we were friends

Though they murdered six million

In the ovens they fried

The germans now too

Have God on their side

I've learned to hate russians

All through my whole life

If another war starts

Its 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 got weapons

Of the chemical dust

If fire them were forced to

Then fire them we must

One push of the button

And a shot the world wide

And you never ask questions

When gods on your 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

Youll 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 fall to the floor

If gods on our side

Hell stop the next war
