Which Side Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

words and music by Arlo Guthrie 

There's trouble all around the world 

Well, it looks that way to me 

People don't know what to do 

They don't know where they should be 

But just one question still remains 

To which we must respond 

Two roads lead from where we are 

Which side are you on 

CHORUS: 

Are you on, boys 

Which side are you on 

Which side are you on, boys 

Which side are you on 

Moses crossed the desert 

With a band of weary men 

For forty years they wandered through 

The hot and burning sand 

And Moses went and prayed alone 

The weary vagabond 

And lightning wrote these words in stone 

Which side are you on 

CHORUS 

Jesus stumbling through the streets 

On the road to Calvary 

Nailed high to testify 

With other local thieves 

And as they hung there dying 

One asked what lay beyond 

That all depends the master said 

Which side are you on 

CHORUS 

Some men work for little things 

And some men work for more 

Some men work for anything 

And some don't work at all 

And me mysef I'm satisfied 

To sing for God's own son 

And ask you what I ask myself 

Which side are you on
