Straylight Run With God On Our Side Lyrics

Oh my name it is nothin'
My age, it means...less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest

I was 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 accept it all bravely
With God on my side

Oh, the First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fightin'
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 Wars...
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

But now we got weapons
Of chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must

One push of the b___on
And shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side

In a many dark hours
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

My words fill the air
They fall to the floor
That if God's on our side, then
He'll stop the next war
