Which Side Are You On?

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?
