With God On Our Side

Composer/Bob Dylan
 
Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
It'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
It'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
Thouth 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 lifr
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 many a 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.

上帝與我們同在
 
不要問我的名字
我的年齡也並不重要
中西部
那是我的故鄉,你要知道
我就是在那裏長大
那片土地啊
有上帝與它同在
 
曆史書上精彩地寫道
騎兵們奮勇向前
接著，是印第安人倒下
騎兵們奮勇向前
接著，是印第安人倒下
那時我們年輕的國家
有上帝與它同在
 
美國和西班牙的那場戰爭啊
終於結束在某一天
內戰同樣也曾經有
那結束的一天
我必須把英雄的名字
牢記在心間
他們手裏拿著槍啊
還有上帝與他們同在
 
第一次的世界大戰
也很快就結束
我卻從未曾知曉
那戰爭開始的原因
學著接受這驕傲吧
勝利就是那驕傲的原因
因為你不必去憐憫無數死去的人們
當上帝與你同在
 
當第二次世界大戰
也終於結束
德國人得到了我們的寬恕
盡管他們曾經殺人無數
現在德國人
也有上帝與他們同在
 
我學會一生都要仇恨
那些俄國人
如果有下一場戰爭
那他們就是敵人
我充滿仇恨和畏懼
還要習慣逃亡和躲避
我必須勇敢地麵對這樣的生活
想著有上帝與我們同在
 
如今我們有了原子武器
我們必須使用它
要是我們被迫動用武力
隻需按下按鈕
毀滅這個世界不費吹灰之力
你從不去問這樣做的目的
因為有上帝與你同在
 
我在黑暗中不斷的思考
耶穌是被一個吻所出賣
但我卻不能替你思考
你必須自己想明白
是不是猶大
也有上帝與他同在
 
現在我即將離去
疲憊有如從地獄經過
沒有語言能夠表達
充滿我頭腦的疑惑
阻止下一場戰爭吧
如果上帝真的與我們同在
