    With God on our side

    Joan Baez
     
    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.   

    A point is that which has no part.

    Sa fii sigur ca God nu va impiedica nici un razboi..Liberul arbitru...
    Da' poate imi implineste mie o dorinta...

    It’s coming on christmas
    They’re cutting down trees
    They’re putting up reindeer
    And singing songs of joy and peace
    Oh I wish I had a river
    I could skate away on
    But it don’t snow here
    It stays pretty green
    I’m going to make a lot of money
    Then I’m going to quit this crazy scene
    I wish I had a river
    I could skate away on
    I wish I had a river so long
    I would teach my feet to fly
    Oh I wish I had a river
    I could skate away on
    I made my baby cry

    He tried hard to help me
    You know, he put me at ease
    And he loved me so naughty
    Made me weak in the knees
    Oh I wish I had a river
    I could skate away on
    I’m so hard to handle
    I’m selfish and I’m sad
    Now I’ve gone and lost the best baby
    That I ever had
    Oh I wish I had a river
    I could skate away on
    I wish I had a river so long
    I would teach my feet to fly
    Oh I wish I had a river
    I made my baby say goodbye (E un cantec al lui Joni Mitchell. Pacat ca nu-l puteti si asculta aici)

    "Driving down an endless road/Taking friends or moving alone/Pleasure at the fairground on the way..."

    M.E.K,
    Gata, ai calcat pe bec! Ai postat ceva off the subject!!!
    Ca sa te iert va trebui sa-mi trimiti mp3-ul respectiv! Or else! Nu am decat 1 (una) melodie cu Joni Mitchel (California) ceea ce este inadmisibil!
