With God On Our Side Lyrics - Prepare To Be Wrong [ep] - Straylight Run

Oh my name it is nothin' 

My age it means less 

The country I come from 

Is called the Midwest 

I's taught and brought up there 

The laws to abide 

And that 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 

The Indians died 

Oh the country was young 

With God on its side. 

 

I've learned to hate others 

All through my whole life 

If another war starts 

It's then we must fight 

To hate them and fear them 

To run and to hide 

And except it all bravely 

With God on my side 

 

Oh the First World War, boys 

It closed out its fate 

The reason for fighting 

I never got straight 

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 we were friends 

Though they murdered six million 

In the ovens they fried 

The Germans now too 

Have God on their side. 

 

But now we got weapons 

Of 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 thinkin' 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 leavin' 

I'm weary as Hell 

The confusion I'm feelin' 

Ain't no tongue can tell 

The words fill my head 

And fall to the floor 

That if God's on our side 

He'll stop the next war.
