With God On Our Side Songtext
von Liquid Blue

Oh, my name, it is nothin′
My age, it means less
The country I come from
Is called the US
I's 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 then
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′s made to memorize
With guns on 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
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


I′ve learned to hate the Russians
In 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 our side

In the 1960's
Came the Vietnam War
Can somebody tell me
What we were fightin′ for?
So many young men died
And their mothers, they cried
Now we ask this question
"Was God on our side?"

We marched into Baghdad
With all of our might
The media sold it
We knew we were right
More death and destruction
So many have died
But we killed them with honor
With God on our side

In the grand scheme of power
Afghanistan was next
So we set up our bases
Their land we annexed
Though the people had suffered
We pushed them aside
'Cause we were sure
God′s on our side

My country has weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them, we're forced to
Then fire them, we must
One push of a button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God′s on your side

In many a dark hour
I've been thinkin' ′bout 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 way to tell
The words fill my head up
And they fall to the floor
If God's on our side then
He′ll stop the next war

Let′s stop the next war
Let's stop the next war
