Oh, the history books tell
it, they tell it so well
The cavalry charged and the
Indians fell
The cavalry 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 was made to memorize
With guns in their hands and
God on their side
Oh, the first World War, well
it came and it went
And 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
with God 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 our side
But now we've 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
with God on your side
In many a 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
