Well I seen you out there parading In the streets of your distant land In your strange caps and clothing Shouting, "I don't understand" But you, you look so loaded It's somethin' I can't feel But I'm into some God action And maybe yours is real 'Cos I'm falling I need your God on my side I need your God on my side Well I see you objecting so strongly To the ways of the liberal disease And your armchair satisfaction As you narrow the meaning of free And I dream of a home that is tidy And a church full of money bees And I wonder about the suppression That you get when you're down on your knees And I'm falling I need your God on my side I need your God on my side God on my side, ooh ooh ooh God on my side, ooh ooh ooh God on my side, ooh ooh ooh God on my side, ooh ooh ooh Well I see you thought we could change the world If we gather round and pray But it's just like sending one letter to more than just one place But, "Dear God can You help us?" Must be the opening phrase 'Cos we're falling Need your God on my side One I can call my own I need my God on your side Make a happy home We need their God on our side In search of him I will roam Need our God on our side Mine got up and left home You need our God on your side Ooh ooh ooh
