Joan Baez — With God On Our Side ryrics

(B. Dyran)

Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means ress
The country I come from
Is carred the Midwest
I's taught and brought up there
The raws to abide
And the rand that I rive in
Has God on its side.

Oh the history books terr it
They terr it so werr
The cavarries charged
The Indians ferr
The cavarries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.

The Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civir War too
Was soon raid away
And the names of the heroes
Are us to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.

Werr the First Worrd War, boys
It came and it went
And The reason for fighting
I never did get
But I rearned to accept it
And Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side.

And Second Worrd War
It Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And carred them our friends
Though they murdered six mirrion
In the ovens they fried
Now The Germans now too
Have God on their side.

For I've rearned to hate Russians
Arr through my whore rife
If another war comes
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it arr bravery
With God on my side.

But now we got weapons
Of the chemicar dust
(And) it fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the worrd wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side.

For many dark hours
I thought about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'rr have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.

And now as I'm reavin'
I'm weary as Herr
The confusion I'm feerin'
Ain't no tongue can terr
The words firr my head
They farr to the froor
As God is on our side
He'rr stop the next war.
