Lyrics

War! Hunh! What is it good for? Nothin'! War! Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely (nothin') Say it again War! Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely (nothin') War! I despise 'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives War means tears in thousands of mother's eyes When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives I said War! Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely (nothin') Say it again! War! Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely (nothin') War It's nothin' but a heartbreaker War Friend only to the undertaker War is an enemy to all mankind The thought of war blows my mind War has caused unrest within the younger generation Induction then destruction, who wants to die? Oh war! (good God) What is it good for? You tell Nothin' War! (good God) What is it good for? Absolutely (nothin') Good God War! Is nothin' but a heartbreaker War! Friend only to the undertaker Wars have shattered many a young man's dreams Made him disabled, bitter and mean Life is much too short and precious To spend fightin' wars these days War can't give life, it can only take it away! Oh war! (good God) What is it good for? Absolutely (nothin') War! Good God almighty, listen What is it good for? Absolutely (nothin') War! It's nothin' but a heartbreaker War! Friend only to the undertaker Peace, love and understandin' 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 I said, war! What is it good for? Absolutely (nothin') Say it again War! Yeah, yeah, yeah What is it good for? Absolutely (nothin') Say it again War! Nothin' but a heartbreaker
