歌詞
[Verse 1]
Oh, there's got to be a better way
Say it again
There's got to be a better way
Yeah, what is it good for?
War
[Verse 2]
Man has a sense for the discovery of beauty
How rich is the world for the one who makes use of this discovery
Beauty must have power over man
After the end of the war I wanted to devote myself to my thoughts
For five to ten years by writing them down
War has caused unrest among the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
[Verse 3]
Wars come and go
What remains are only the values of culture
[Verse 4]
Then of course there is revolution of love
Love of comrades fighting for the people and love of people
Not an abstract people, but people one each one works with
When Che Guevara talked of love being at the center
Of revolutionary endeavors he meant both for people
Like Che or George Jackson or Malcolm X
Love was the prime mover of their struggle
And love cost them their lives
Love coupled with a man's pride
Love coupled with a man's pride
[Verse 5]
War, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers how
When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives
I said, war, huh, good God ya'll
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (Nothing), say it again, War woah
[Verse 6]
(War, huh)
Whoa oh oh lord
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (Nothing), listen to me
(War) It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
(War) Friend only to the undertaker
(War)
(War)
(War, huh)
Yeah (War)
[Verse 7]
War (Huh)
What is it good for?
Absolutely (Nothing), say it again
(War, huh) good God
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (Nothing), say it
(War)
[Verse 8]
Oh Lord
There has got to be a better way
Sing it again
There has got to be a better way
Yeah
What is it good for?
War (Huh)
What is it good for?
