Lyrics

One, two, three, four Get down What is it good for? All right (yeah, yeah, yeah) War, huh, yeah What is it good for? Ahh... War I despise It means destruction to innocent lives War means tears To thousands of mothers' eyes When their sons go out to fight And lose their lives War, huh, yeah What is it good for? Nothing War, huh (whoa, whoa whoa Lord) What is it good for? (Alright) Nothing War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker The thought of war blows my mind War has caused unrest In the younger generation Who wants to die? War, huh, yeah What is it good for? Alright, war, war, war War, huh (whoa, whoa whoa Lord) What is it good for? Alright, nothing (war!) War Alright Come on Let me get a straight line Right now, in the middle, right here Straight line Come on Come on! Right down the middle Here you go, here you go Okay This side of the room, stop Don't do nothing This side of the room, clap your hands Okay On the count of four As loud as you can You'll say, "War" I'll say, "Huh, yeah" You'll say, "What is it good for?" I'll say, "Absolutely" You'll say, "Nothing" Have you got that? (Yes!) I didn't hear you, have you got that? (Yes!) One, two, three, four (War) huh yeah (What is it good for?) Absolutely (nothing), yeah, yeah (War) Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah (What is it good for?) Alright, bring it in Okay This side of the room Alright Now, I want you to do the same thing but better Can you do that? (Yes!) I didn't hear you, can you do that? (Yes!) One, two, three, four (War) huh yeah (What is it good for?) Absolutely (nothing), yeah, yeah (War) Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah (What is it good for?) Alright, yeah Which side was the best? I can't here you, which side was the best? Tell you what, I'll find out Everybody clap your hands, come on Okay It's gonna be you And me And the drummer It sounds like this
