Letras de With God on Our Side

Oh, my name it means 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
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 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 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

But now we′ve 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 shock the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your 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
Oh, if God's on our side
He′ll stop the next war
