War, huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Wow-wow
War, huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all
War, huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War
I despise, causing meanless destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
When the sons go out to fight and lose their lives
I say
War, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, huh
Wow-wow-wow lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Ain't nothing but a heart breaker
Got one friend, that's the undertaker
War is an enemy to all mankind
The soul of what blows my mind
War is causing wrecks in the younger generation
Induction
Destruction
I said who wants to die?
War, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
Aha yeah
Huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War
Ain't nothing but a heart breaker
Got one friend, that's the undertaker
War, huh
Wow-wow-wow lord
War
Has shattered many on these streets
Maimed and disabled
Bitter and weak
Life is too short and precious to spend fighting war these days
War can't give life
It can only take it away
War, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, huh
Wow-wow-wow lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War
Ain't nothing but a heart breaker
Got one friend, that's the undertaker
War, huh
Wow-wow-wow lord
Please let me understand and tell me
Is there a place for them today?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But lord knows there's got to be a better way
War, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for?
You gone tell me
Nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
Wow-wow-wow lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
You listen to me
War
Ain't nothing but a heart breaker
Got one friend, that's the undertaker
War, huh
Wow-wow-wow lord
What is it good for?
Nothing
War
What is it good for?
War
What is it good for?
