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, yeah War Huh Yeah What is it good for? Absolutely nothing That's supposed to be our song, Otis Norman wrote it for us, didn't he? The Temps are a crossover group! Can't use it, Norman B.G., I'm telling you, it's gonna be a hit! I can feel it! Lots of artists have taken a stand against the war Why can't the Temps? Because! Once the white audience thinks they know you You can't go switchin' on them! TV Black, radio Black - not the same as political Black You have to serve them music in a way that's digestible So Norman gave the song to Edwin Starr instead It was his biggest hit Comin' in number one on the Billboard charts One of the most successful protest songs to date Nobody said I was always right You want political?
