Well I seen you out there parading

In the streets of your distant land

In your strange caps and clothing

Shouting, "I don't'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 ooh ooh

God on my side ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

God on my side ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

God on my side ooh ooh 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
