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
