- Joan Baez With God On Our Side 歌詞
- Joan Baez
- Oh my name it is nothin
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
Is 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.
我的名字毫不重要
我的年紀也沒有意義
我的故鄉
是叫做中西部的地方
我在那受教育在那成長
遵紀守法
那方我居住的土地
有上帝與它同在
歷史書上
說得挺好
騎兵們前進
印第安人倒下
騎兵們前進
印第安人死去
那年輕的國家呀
有上帝與它同在
那場西班牙與美國的戰爭
終有結束之時
內戰亦是如此
硝煙很快散去
英雄們的名字
我的牢牢記住
他們手握槍支
有上帝與他們同在
孩子，第一次世界大戰
已停止了進程
大戰的原因
我始終沒弄明白
但我卻被教會去
滿懷驕傲地接受它
因為你不必在意死傷多少
而上帝與你同在
當二戰也
臨近尾聲
我們原諒了德國人
與他們友好相處
縱使他們在焚爐中
殘殺了六百萬人
德國人現在也
有上帝與他們同在
我曾被教導要
一輩子仇恨蘇聯
如果再次開戰
他們就是敵人
要恨透他們懼怕他們
要逃命要躲藏
要勇敢地接受這些
想著上帝與我們同在
但現在我們有了用
化學渣滓制出的武器
一旦我們被迫用它
只要按一下按鈕
它就可以對著
世界任何一地開火
你不必多問
只需上帝與你同在
在那黑暗的歲月裡
我不停地思考這些
耶穌基督
被一個吻輕易出賣
我無法替你思考
你得自己想想
是不是叛徒猶大
也有上帝與他同在
所以現在我離開
精疲力竭
我察覺到的混亂
無可言狀
詞語塞滿我的大腦
再落到地上
如果上帝與我們同在
他當阻止下一場戰爭
