With God on Our Side — текст песни (Bob Dylan)





Oh my name it is nothin

My age it means less

The country I come from

Is called the midwest

Its 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.



Oh the spanish-american

War had its day

And the civil war too

Was soon laid away

And the names of the heroes

Is made to memorize

With guns in their hands

And God on their 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 dont count the dead

When gods 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.



Ive learned to hate russians

All through my whole life

If another war starts

Its 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.



But now we got weapons

Of the chemical dust

If fire them were forced to

Then fire them we must

One push of the button

And a shot the world wide

And you never ask questions

When gods on your side.



In a many dark hour

Ive been thinkin about this

That jesus christ

Was betrayed by a kiss

But I cant think for you

Youll have to decide

Whether judas iscariot

Had God on his side.



So now as Im leavin

Im weary as hell

The confusion Im feelin

Aint no tongue can tell

The words fill my head

And fall to the floor

If gods on our side

Hell stop the next war.
