War, war huh yeah

What it is good for

Absolutely nothing

Uhuh huh

War huh yeah

What it is good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again y'all

War huh good God

What it is good for

Absolutely nothing

Listen to me ahh

War I despise

'Cuz it means destruction of innocent lives

War means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes

When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives

I said, "War huh good God y'all

What it is good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again"

"War, Lord, Lord, Lord

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Listen to me"

War, it ain't nothing but a heart breaker

War, friend only to the undertaker

War is the enemy of all mankind

The thought of war blows my mind

War has caused unrest

Within the younger generations

Induction then destruction

Who wants to die

War huh good God y'all

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it, say it, say it

War huh, huh yeah huh

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Listen to me

War, it ain't nothing but a heart breaker

War, got one friend, thats the undertaker

War has shattered many young men's dreams

Made him disabled bitter and mean

Life is but too surely precious to spend fighting wars each day

War can't give life it can only take it away!

War huh good God y'all

What it is a good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War huh Lord, Lord, Lord

What it is a good for

Absolutely nothing

Listen to me

War, it ain't nothing but a heart breaker

War, friend only to the undertaker

Peace love and understanding tell me

Is there a place for these today

They say we must fight to keep our freedom

But Lord knows there's got to be a better way

War huh good God y'all

What is it good for

You tell me

Say it, say it, say it, say it

War good God now huh

What is it good for

Stand up and shout it nothing
