Oh my name it means nothin

My age it means less

The country I come from

Is called the midwest

I was brought up and taught there

The laws to abide

And 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

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 killed six million

In the ovens they fried

The Germans now too

Have God on their side

But now we 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

When God's on your side

Oh my name it means nothin'

My age it means less

The country I come from

Is called the Midwest

I was brought up and taught there

The laws to abide

And that land that I live in

Has God on its side

And that land that I live in

Has God on its side
