With God On Our Side - Bob Dylan

With God On Our Side

Bob Dylan



Lyrics:
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 the 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
l’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

Through 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
..............................................................................
Letra:
Oh, mi nombre no importa
y menos mi edad
el país del que vengo
se llama el Medio Oeste
allí me criaron y me enseñaron
a respetar las leyes
y que la tierra en la que vivo
tiene a Dios de su lado.

Oh, los libros de historia lo cuentan
lo cuentan tan bien,
la caballería cargó
los indios cayeron,
la caballería cargó
los indios murieron
por el país que era joven
con Dios de su lado.

La guerra hispano-americana
tuvo su momento
y la guerra civil también fue
pronto ventilada
al igual que los nombres de los héroes
que hizo recordar,
con pistolas en sus manos
y Dios de su lado.

La Primera Guerra Mundial, muchachos
vino y se fue
el motivo de la lucha
nunca lo comprendí
pero aprendí a aceptarla
aceptarla con orgullo
porque no se cuentan los muertos
cuando Dios está de tu lado.

La Segunda Guerra Mundial
vino y se acabó
perdonamos a los alemanes
y luego fuimos sus amigos
aunque asesinaron a seis millones
friéndolos en los hornos
ahora los alemanes también tienen
a Dios de su lado.

He aprendido a odiar a los rusos
durante toda mi vida
si viene otra guerra
tendremos que combatirles
odiarles y temerles
correr y esconderse
y aceptarlo todo valientemente
con Dios de mi lado.

Pero ahora tenemos armas
de polvos químicos
si disparan ellos, nos veremos forzados
y deberemos dispararles,
un apretón al botón
y un disparo como el mundo entero
y nunca se hacen preguntas
cuando Dios está de nuestro lado.

Durante muchas horas inquietas
he estado pensando sobre esto,
Jesucristo fue
vendido por un beso
pero no puedo pensar por vosotros,
tendréis que decidir
si Judas Iscariote
tenía a Dios de su lado.

Así que ahora me estoy yendo,
cansado como un demonio,
la confusión que siento
no hay lengua que pueda cantarla,
las palabras me llenan la cabeza
y caen al suelo,
Si Dios está de nuestro lado
parará la próxima guerra.

Invaders - Iron Maiden

Invaders Iron Maiden Lyrics: Longboats have been sighted the evidence of war has begun Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam in the sun Call to arms defend yourselves get ready to stand and fight for your lives Judgement day has come around so be prepared don't run stand your ground They're coming in from the sea they've come the enemy beneath the blazing sun the battle has to be won Invaders ... Pillaging Invaders ... Looting Set ablaze the campfires alert the other men from inland Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand The Vikings are too many too powerful to take on our own We must have reinforcements we cannot fight this battle alone They're coming over the hill they've come to attack they're coming in for the kill there's no turning back Invaders ... Fighting Invaders ... Marauding Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall to the ground Severed li...

Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow

Since You've Been Gone Rainbow Lyrics:   I get the same old dreams same time everynight Fall to the ground and I wake up So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head Thoughts fly back to the breakup These four wall are closing in Look at the fix you put me in Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light I read the words that you sent to me I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around too soon You can't know what you mean to me Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone If you will come back ...

Still of The Night - Whitesnake

Still Of The Night Whitesnake Lyrics: In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy Telling me I gotta have more In the shadow of night I see the full moon rise Telling me what's in store My heart start aching My body start a shaking And I can't take no more Now I just wanna get close to you An' taste your love so sweet And I just wanna make love to you Feel your body heat In the still of the night In the still of the night Over here baby In the heat of the day , I hang my head down low And hide my face from the sun Through the light of the day Until the evening time I'm waiting for the night to come In the still of the night In the cool moonlight I feel heart is aching In the still of the night Tell me here baby! In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door ...
