With God on Our Side

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
