1)
Oh my name it is nothin`, my age it means less
The country I come from, is called the Midwest
It`s taught and brought up there, the laws to abide
And that land that I live in, has God on its side.
2)
Oh the history books tell it, they tell it so well
The cavalries charged and the Indians fell
The cavalries charged, the Indiens died
Oh the country was young, with God on its side.
3)
Oh the First World War, boys, it closed out its fate
The reason for fighting, 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.
4)
The Second World War, boys, came to an end
We forgave the Germans and then we were friends
Tough they murdered six million, in the ovens they fried
The Germans now too have God on their side.
5)
But 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 and a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions, when God`s on your side.
6)
Through 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.
