Slide6Oh
my name it is nothin'My age it means lessThe country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I's
taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that the land that I live in
Has God on its side
Slide7Oh the history books tell itThey tell it so wellThe cavalries chargedThe Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side
Slide8Oh
the Spanish-AmericanWar had its dayAnd the Civil War tooWas soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
l's made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side
Slide9Oh the First World War, boysIt came and it wentThe reason for fightingI
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
Slide10When the Second World WarCame to an endWe forgave the GermansThen we
were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side
Slide11I've learned to hate RussiansAll through my whole lifeIf another war startsIt's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side
Slide12But now we got weaponsOf the chemical dustIf fire them we're forced toThen 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
Slide13Through many dark hourI've been thinkin' about thisThat 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
Slide14So now as I'm leavin'I'm weary as HellThe confusion I'm
feelin
'
Ain't
no tongue can tellThe words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war
