“A South politician preaches to the poor white man:
"You got more than the blacks, don't complain
You're better than them, you been born with white skin, " they explain
And the Negro's name
Is used, it is plain
For the politician's gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game”

Musical Worldview: Bob Dylan: "With God On Our Side"

s-l300.jpg

‪“Well you don’t count the dead,‬
‪when God’s on your side”‬

‪“You never ask questions‬
‪when God’s on your 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”

Musical Worldview: Bob Dylan: "'Till I Fell In Love With You"

“Well my house is on fire
Burnin' to the sky.

Well I thought it would rain
But the clouds passed by.


And I feel like I'm comin'
To the end of my way

But I know God is my shield
And he won't lead me astray”
