War (written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong)
War War, huh, yeah What is it good for Absolutely nothing
War, huh, yeah What is it good for Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all War, huh, good God What is it good for Absolutely nothing Listen to me
Ohhh, 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
I said, war, huh Good God, y'all What is it good for Absolutely nothing Say it again
War, whoa, 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
Ooooh, war It's an enemy to all mankind The point of war blows my mind War has caused unrest Within the younger generation Induction then destruction Who wants to die
Aaaaah, war-huh Good God y'all What is it good for Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it War, huh 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
Ooooh, war, has shattered Many a young mans dreams Made him disabled, bitter and mean Life is much too short and precious To spend fighting wars these days War can't give life It can only take it away
Ooooh, war, huh Good God y'all What is it good for Absolutely nothing Say it again
War, whoa, 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
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
Ooooooh, war, huh Good God y'all What is it good for You tell me Say it, say it, say it, say it War, huh Good God y'all What is it good for
