[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!
