歌词
Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I's 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
I's 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 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 murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side.
I've learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war starts
It'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.
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.
In a many dark hour
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
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war.
我的名字毫不重要
我的年纪也没有意义
我的故乡
是叫做中西部的地方
我在那受教育在那成长
遵纪守法
那方我居住的土地
有上帝与它同在
历史书上
说得挺好
骑兵们前进
印第安人倒下
骑兵们前进
印第安人死去
那年轻的国家呀
有上帝与它同在
那场西班牙与美国的战争
终有结束之时
内战亦是如此
硝烟很快散去
英雄们的名字
我的牢牢记住
他们手握枪支
有上帝与他们同在
孩子，第一次世界大战
已停止了进程
大战的原因
我始终没弄明白
但我却被教会去
满怀骄傲地接受它
因为你不必在意死伤多少
而上帝与你同在
当二战也
临近尾声
我们原谅了德国人
与他们友好相处
纵使他们在焚炉中
残杀了六百万人
德国人现在也
有上帝与他们同在
我曾被教导要
一辈子仇恨苏联
如果再次开战
他们就是敌人
要恨透他们惧怕他们
要逃命要躲藏
要勇敢地接受这些
想着上帝与我们同在
但现在我们有了用
化学渣滓制出的武器
一旦我们被迫用它
只要按一下按钮
它就可以对着
世界任何一地开火
你不必多问
只需上帝与你同在
在那黑暗的岁月里
我不停地思考这些
耶稣基督
被一个吻轻易出卖
我无法替你思考
你得自己想想
是不是叛徒犹大
也有上帝与他同在
所以现在我离开
精疲力竭
我察觉到的混乱
无可言状
词语塞满我的大脑
再落到地上
如果上帝与我们同在
他当阻止下一场战争
