War hu yeah what is it good for absolutely nothin.
war hu yeah what is it good for absolutely nothin say it again y'all.

war brings tears to thousands of mothers eyes
when their sons go to fight and lose their lives.
I said war hu good god y'all what is it good for absolutely nothin say it again
war hu oh oh oh lord what is it good for absolutely nothin
listen to me war it aint nothin but a heart breaker
war friend only to the undertaker oh war

war has caused unrest within the younger generation induction then destruction
