      Hi, I came here today with such a need deep in my heart to hear this song and was so grateful to find your post. Thank-You.
      I don't know what gave me more tears, your post or the song.
      One thing I can't agree with you though is the sad fact that the moment has Always been.
      Not just in the now due to what's going on in our sad situation in 2022. The moment never ended. Seems like to me it always was and always sadly may be.
      Most of my people fled Ukraine for freedoms of all different kinds and to think of their journey to freedom and the torture, rape, murder and horrors they faced and saw to get here and that there are those still living through these things, not just there but in Many countries around the world, like I said, the moments never seem to end.
      I remember at reunion picnics, cousin club meetings and such when the old ones sat in circles speaking in their languages so the younger one's wouldn't understand. I can't imagine and it blows my mind that my sweet little aunt Goldie, sitting there knitting shawls, was in charge of making sure the brothers and sisters had guns for the journey!
      And yet we were still raised with some pride in being Russian from Ukraine. Not proud of what was done to us or how we were treated or which ones were on Stalin's top 5 red death list. We came for the freedom of religion.
      My parents were older than Bob but also had Duck and Cover practice in school.
      I've always wondered for him in this song, how hard it must have been to be taught to hate the Russians with Russian blood flowing through his veins too?
      All these modern day wars, all these new fears so, so Damn real! Divide and Conquer is the name of their games and they're waging wars on love and hatred serves no-one!

      @@hanzfranz7739 Yes, but that's only the superficial answer....
      The real answer has an immense depth and comes only after one has proven for real that one was willing to disengage from the Ego thought system of retaliation altogether to become the living Christ...
      I am sure that Dylan understood it somehow and "left it for us to decide...."
      Because it can't be taught by the Mind of Ego but only experienced by going through a process of constant TOTAL Surrender to GOD to give up all attack and retaliation and to constantly forgive everyone everything allways regardless of what one's own EgoMind tells & yells one to think, feel & do to the contrary,
      nothing less...that only a tiniest fraction of the so called BeLIEvers in Christ are ever willing to go fully through....

      A lot of good music from the mid 60s through the late 70s is still relevant today, which scares the shit out of me because that was 60 years ago and we STILL haven't improved enough as a society to render these songs irrelevant.

      @@oleggorky906 I think it's quality versus quantity - do we want more people or do we want happier people? Until we figure our shit out as a species, I certainly am unwilling to bring children into this world. I didn't ask to be here, but I'll make the most of it and try to improve things while I'm here.
      Some technology is good! Sewers, indoor plumbing, electricity.. I feel like, for a while, technology really did improve our lives. It still does. That being said - there does seem to be an exponentially growing preponderance of tech that doesn't serve us very well.. new bombs, new and insidious forms of propaganda, new ways to fuck up the environment to get more shit to burn out of the ground, cell phone garbage giving people cancer as they process through it for scraps of precious metals... it is scary. I agree. It's dystopian.
      I think that a brighter future involves fixing our corrupt power structures and keeping everyone accountable for how they affect the world around them. Especially large corporations and wealthy oligarchs who make ends-justify-the-means decisions without giving those affected a chance to vote on them. I don't think that we're inherently incapable of a better society, but I do think that human power structures are inherently unstable - they tend to collect more and more power at the top until they collapse and the cycle repeats.
      I'm optimistic because I choose to be. Even if the human world were ending, maybe we can have a decent last act as a species. I guess I'd feel strangely privileged to see it all go down in my lifetime, but my heart wants peace and healing, not destruction.
      I choose to see the shittyness of the world as growing pains on our way to becoming a more enlightened species. We're having an existential crisis on a societal level. This last century has pretty much been the first time humanity ever truly believed it could be wiped out by its own hand. I'm curious as to how we will process this moving forward. Hopefully with reverence for life and a renewed sense of urgency for self preservation!

    Hey there, all my lovely friends down in America! I am up here in America’s top hat, CANADA, admiring our cousins to the south, and the beautiful music that y’all create for THE WORLD to enjoy! Bob Dylan's 'With God on Our Side' is a timeless masterpiece that resonates with the complexities of war, politics, and the human condition. Dylan's poignant lyrics force us to confront the consequences of blind patriotism and religious justifications for violence. It's a powerful reminder to question authority and seek peace above all else.
    Sending the ultimate love and respect from your northern neighbors! Take care everybody!

      I can't believe that the mind that created this song and this album, one day became a s.c. _"born-again Christian"._
      Not that this song is a critique of religion or Christianity. Rather how faith is abused. He just seems to intelligent to buy into a man-made religion. It even ask a theological question. If I were a Christian, I'd ask myself the same question and I never got why the Catholic church is condemning Judas that much. Didn't he play a major part in God's plan to absolve mankind from sin.

      @yannick - I don't think that being "born again" is at all incompatible with questioning, wondering, and searching.
      The religion professed by many people who believe themselves to be Christian has absolutely nothing to do with the words of Jesus in the Gospels - "Do unto others as you would have them do to you," for example. (I'm Lutheran - and Martin Luther was *incredibly* antisemitic. So... we have to look beyond ourselves.)

    Lyrics
    Oh my name it ain't nothin'
    My age it means less
    The country I come from
    Is called the Midwest
    I was 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
    The Spanish-American
    War had its day
    And the Civil War, too
    Was soon laid away
    And the names of the heroes
    I was made to memorize
    With guns in their hands
    And God on their side
    The First World War, boys
    It came and it went
    The reason for fighting
    I never did get
    But I learned to accept it
    Accept it with pride
    For you don't count the dead
    When God's on your side
    The Second World War
    Came to an end
    We forgave the Germans
    And then 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 the Russians
    All through my whole life
    If another war comes
    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 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 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
    That if God's on our side
    He'll stop the next war

      seductive mythology of the glory of nationalistic gladiatorial contests between nations.

    My little brother heard me say that I had never actually heard Bob Dylan speak or sing (just people imitating him for a joke), and this is the first song he played for me. I haven't been able to get it out of my head for almost a year now, it's just so haunting.

      There's just a small place to start. Just listen to the album's in order. That first one I listed is spoken word, you should definitely check that out because I'm not sure the album its on, one of countless performances. I've listened to it once a month at least the last 30 years.
      This album actually doesn't have a bad song, neither do the next few

    This audio is wonderful because his original sound that is perfect. This song is one of that we must be in complete silence to listen to. I think Bob was very courageous to write this lyrics... His luckly way to be sliding about all, joking with words in his interviews had kept him safe... Do you Remember Salman Rushdie? Beside this, all his lyrics contains a meaning that glue in our soul forever. It is the cause make Bob to be the greatest songwriter of the century XX and XXI. And his harmonic is the inseparable fellow answering his anguishing questions....All prizes he won are fully deserved. Thank, Bob, for available for us.

      Actually a clumsy lyrical rewrite of Dominic Behan’s “The Patriot Game”. That is, it uses precisely the same music (borrowed in turn from the public-domain folk-song “The Merry Month of May”) and alters the lyric. It’s essentially another of Bobby Zimmerman’s many exercises in plagiarism, and like most of these, vastly inferior to the work it plagiarizes. It’s clumsy not only in that it’s replete with failed attempts to rhyme and rhythmically random superfluous syllables, but in that the narrative itself is ragged, thematically inconsistent, and unconvincing, the sentiment trite and the point blunt. In any case, anyone who makes use of someone else’s material is ethically obligated to credit the original author. If the original author is anonymous, he should still be acknowledged (just say “traditional”). Zimmerman goes around stamping his stage name (“Dylan”) on anything he can get his hands on.
