War

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

War I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives
I said

Goddamn y'all
(What is it good for?) absolutely nothing, say it again now
(War, huh) wo-oh oh oh
(What is it good for?) absolutely nothing
Listen to me

It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
(War) friend only to the undertaker, oh
War is the enemy of all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest, between the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
Oh

Goddamn y'all
(What is it good for?) absolutely nothing, say it again now
(War, huh) wo-oh oh lord
(What is it good for?) absolutely nothing
Listen to me

It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
(War) friend only to the undertaker, oh
War has shattered many a young men's dreams
Made them disabled, bitter and mean
Life is too short and precious to be spent fighting wars these days
War can't give life, it can only take it away

Goddamn y'all
(What is it good for?) absolutely nothing, say it again
(War, huh) woh
(What is it good for?) absolutely nothing
Listen to me

It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
(War) friend 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 gotta be a better way, oh

Goddamn y'all
(What is it good for?) absolutely nothing, say it, say it, say it
(War, huh)
(What is it good for?) absolutely nothing
Stand up and shout it (war)
(What is it good for?)
(Nothing)
