Words and music by Adam Beattie

lyrics

The only war that’s worth the blood
And all the marching in the mud
Is one where neither side can deny
They’ve made a better world for you and I

Put yourself in the another’s shoes
You’ll see when you win, another will lose
Fortune will come and go like the tide
I’m on your side

Like the Chinese emperor’s famous plight
That he’d rid his enemies over night
And in the morn’ his council could not believe
To see his foes come round for tea

Put yourself in another’s place
You’ll find yourself easier to face
And in your foes you may confide
I’m on your side

And in my very own street, a man named Wag
His once fine suits all turned to rags
He recalls the war and the men he fought
And how they’re the only friends he’s got

Ally yourself with another’s words
And suddenly they don’t seem so absurd
You’ll find that truths are just like lies
I’m on your side

I’m on your side
