War

War, huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Uh huh, uh huh
War, huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
War, huh (good God)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

Oh, war, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means death to thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives

I said war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
War, huh
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
Friend only to the undertaker
Oh, war is an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest within the younger generation
Induction, then destruction, who wants to die?

I said war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
Uh huh, uh huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
It's got one friend, that's the undertaker
Oh, war has shattered many a young man's dream
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much too short and precious to spend fighting wars each day
War can't give life, it can only take it away

I said war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
War, huh
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
Friend only to the undertaker
Wow, peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's gotta be a better way

I said war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for?
You tell me
Say it, say it, say it
Say it
War, huh
Good God now, huh
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it
Nothing
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
Friend only to the undertaker
