Lyrics

Come all ye gathered 'round you And listen while you can To the voice of every woman And the conflicted heart of man Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? My dad he was a soldier And I'm a soldier's child But the Vietnam blues and the urge to fight Just can't be reconciled Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? They stand up for justice And where we drew the line And you can do the killing 'Cause we don't have a spine Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? I read all ten commandments That parade of sins and tricks I think one said, "Thou shalt not kill" But it's only number six Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? They kill us while we're sleeping And they kill us overhead But I can't pay my grocery bill Or keep my children fed Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? So suffer little children Never spare the rod Must we kill and keep on killing Until we're understood? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on, boys? Which side are you on? Which side are you on?
