Buddy Miller - With God On Our Side songtekst

Je score:

(Bob Dylan)



oh my name it is nothing' my age it means less 

the country i come from is called the midwest 

i was taught and brought up there the laws to 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 cavalries charged the indians fell 

the cavalries charged and 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 taught 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 fighting i never did get 

but i learned to accept it and accept it with pride 

or you don't count the dead 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 

the germans now too have god on their side. 



i've learned to hate 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 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. 



in a many dark hour i've been thinking' 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 leaving' i'm weary as hell 

the confusion i'm feeling' ain't no tongue can tell 

the words fill my head and fall to the floor 

if god's on our side he'll stop the next war.
