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
