Which Side words and music by Arlo Guthrie Intro:    ()    ()    ()    () 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: (Which side) 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

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde le thème des choix et des dilemmes moraux auxquels nous sommes confrontés. Elle évoque l'idée qu'il existe deux chemins dans la vie, et pose la question de quel côté nous nous positionnons face aux injustices et aux luttes. À travers des références historiques et bibliques, comme le voyage de Moïse et la crucifixion de Jésus, l'artiste nous pousse à réfléchir sur notre propre engagement et nos valeurs. Dans un monde où le trouble est omniprésent, la mélodie incite à la réflexion sur les décisions que nous prenons, que ce soit pour des causes grandes ou petites. Elle souligne l'importance de choisir un camp, que ce soit pour défendre la justice ou simplement vivre selon nos convictions.
