Fahrenheit 9/11 movie - With God On Our Side lyrics
rate meSong by Bob Dylan<br /><br>
Oh my name it is nothin'<br>
My age it means less<br>
The country I come from<br>
Is called the Midwest<br>
I's taught and brought up there<br>
The laws to abide<br>
And that land that I live in<br>
Has God on its side.<br>
<br>
Oh the history books tell it<br>
They tell it so well<br>
The cavalries charged<br>
The Indians fell<br>
The cavalries charged<br>
The Indians died<br>
Oh the country was young<br>
With God on its side.<br>
<br>
Oh the Spanish-American<br>
War had its day<br>
And the Civil War too<br>
Was soon laid away<br>
And the names of the heroes<br>
I's made to memorize<br>
With guns in their hands<br>
And God on their side.<br>
<br>
Oh the First World War, boys<br>
It closed out its fate<br>
The reason for fighting<br>
I never got straight<br>
But I learned to accept it<br>
Accept it with pride<br>
For you don't count the dead<br>
When God's on your side.<br>
<br>
When the Second World War<br>
Came to an end<br>
We forgave the Germans<br>
And we were friends<br>
Though they murdered six million<br>
In the ovens they fried<br>
The Germans now too<br>
Have God on their side.<br>
<br>
I've learned to hate Russians<br>
All through my whole life<br>
If another war starts<br>
It's them we must fight<br>
To hate them and fear them<br>
To run and to hide<br>
And accept it all bravely<br>
With God on my side.<br>
<br>
But now we got weapons<br>
Of the chemical dust <br>
If fire them we're forced to<br>
Then fire them we must<br>
One push of the button<br>
And a shot the world wide<br>
And you never ask questions<br>
When God's on your side.<br>
<br>
In a many dark hour<br>
I've been thinkin' about this<br>
That Jesus Christ<br>
Was betrayed by a kiss<br>
But I can't think for you<br>
You'll have to decide<br>
Whether Judas Iscariot<br>
Had God on his side.<br>
<br>
So now as I'm leavin'<br>
I'm weary as Hell<br>
The confusion I'm feelin'<br>
Ain't no tongue can tell<br>
The words fill my head<br>
And fall to the floor<br>
If God's on our side<br>
He'll stop the next war.<br>
<br>
