?[00:17.76]Never mind what my name is, my age, it means less.
[00:26.68]The land that I come from is the free, open West.
[00:36.96]Was taught and brought up there, the laws to abide,
[00:45.66]And the country I live in has God on its side.
[00:56.79]Oh, the history books tell it, they tell it so well.
[01:06.11]The cavalries charged and the Indians, they fell.
[01:15.72]The cavalries charged, the Indians, they died,
[01:25.76]When the country was young and new, with God on its side.
[01:36.28]Well, the Spanish-American War had its day,
[01:44.89]And the Civil War, too, was soon laid away,
[01:54.34]And the name of each hero, I was made to memorize,
[02:04.14]With a gun in his hand and God on his side.
[02:15.47]Oh, the First World War, boys, it closed out its fate,
[02:23.87]Though the reason for fighting, I never got straight,
[02:32.30]But I learned to accept it, and accept it with pride,
[02:41.18]For you never ask questions when God's on your side.
[02:51.02]Spoken line: When the Second World War finally came to an end,
[02:59.16]We’d forgiven the Germans, and then we were friends.
[03:08.15]Though they crucified millions, and it can’t be denied,
[03:17.59]Well, the Germans, now too, have God on their side.
[03:26.83]I've learned to hate Russians
[03:30.49]All through my whole life
[03:35.41]If another war starts
[03:39.30]It's them we must fight
[03:44.33]To hate them and fear them
[03:48.13]To run and to hide
[03:53.25]And accept it all bravely
[03:55.95]With God on my side.
[04:03.73]But now we got weapons
[04:07.72]Of the chemical dust
[04:12.67]If fire them we're forced to
[04:16.87]Then fire them we must
[04:22.37]One push of the button
[04:26.69]And a shot the world wide
[04:32.08]And you never ask questions
[04:36.64]When God's on your side.
[04:43.48]In a many dark hour
[04:48.05]I've been thinkin' about this
[04:52.53]That Jesus Christ
[04:55.78]Was betrayed by a kiss
[05:01.70]But I can't think for you
[05:05.56]You'll have to decide
[05:10.58]Whether Judas Iscariot
[05:14.35]Had God on his side.
[05:19.73]So now as I'm leavin'
[05:24.57]I'm weary as Hell
[05:29.92]The confusion I'm feelin'
[05:34.40]Ain't no tongue can tell
[05:39.93]The words fill my head
[05:44.50]And fall to the floor
[05:49.84]If God's on our side
[05:55.43]He'll stop the next war.
