Oh, my name it ain't nothin', 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 that 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      These Spanish-American War had its day   And the Civil War too was soon laid away   And the names of the heroes, I's 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      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 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 worldwide   And you never ask questions when God's 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, you'll 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   That if God's on our side, He'll stop the next war
