War
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
War, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y′all
War
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, I despise
Cause it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives
Ooh, war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, whoa
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain′t nothing
But a heartbreaker (What is it good for?)
Friends only to the undertaker
Oh, war
It's an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
Oh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Come on, let me hear ya
War, it ain′t nothing but a heartbreaker
It′s got one friend
That's the undertaker
War has shattered
Many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can′t give life
It can only take it away
Oh, war, huh
Oh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
War
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Come on, sing it
War, huh
Come on and shout it, y′all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Come on, come on now
It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
Friends only to the undertaker
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 got to be a better way
Ooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
War, whoa
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y′all
War, whoa
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
