War -- Edwin Starr Oh no-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 has caused unrest Among the younger generation Induction then destruction Who wants to die? War-huh What is it good for? Absolutely nothing Say it again War-huh What is it good for? Absolutely nothing Yeah War-I despise 'Cos it means destruction Of innocent lives War means tears To thousands of mothers how When their sons go off to fight And lose their lives I said War-huh It's an enemy of all mankind No point of war 'Cos you're a man *(Repeat) Give it to me one time-now Give it to me one time-now War has shattered Many young men's dreams We've got no place for it today
