[Chorus]
War
Huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely
Nothing
Uh-huh, uh-huh
War
Huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely
Nothing
Say it again, y'all
War
Huh (Huh!)
Look out!
What is it good for?
Absolutely
Nothing
Listen to me
[Verse 1]
Oh, war I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go to fight and lose their lives
[Chorus]
I said, war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely
Nothing
Good! Say it again!
War, huh
Whoa-oh Lord!
What is it good for?
Absolutely
Nothing
Listen to me
War
It ain't nothing but a heartbreak
War
Friend only to the undertaker
[Verse 2]
Oh, 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?
[Chorus]
Oh, war
Good God, y'all (Huh!)
What is it good for?
Absolutely
Nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War
Uh-huh, yeah (Huh!)
Ugh!
What is it good for?
Absolutely
Nothing
Listen to me
War
It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War
It's got one friend, that's the undertaker
[Verse 3]
Oh, war has shattered many a young man's dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much too short and precious
To spend fighting wars each day
War can't give life
It can only take it away
[Chorus]
Oh, war
Huh!
Good God, ya'll
What is it good for?
Absolutely
Nothing
Say it again
War, huh
Whoa-oh Lord!
What is it good for?
Aw, absolutely
Nothing
Listen to me
[Refrain]
War
It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
Woo!
[Bridge]
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 got to be a better way
[Chorus]
Oh, war
God, ya'll! (Huh!)
What is it good for?
You tell 'em
Say it, say it, say it, say it (Nothin'!)
War
Good God now! (Huh!)
Huh
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it
Nothing!
