Lyrics

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
