With God On Our Side-Buddy Miller

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 it＇s 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 it＇s side. The spanish-american war had it＇s 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.
