WAR

By Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield

Lyrics

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

 

War is something that I despise

For it means destruction of innocent lives

For it means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes

When their sons go out to fight to give their lives

 

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

War

It's nothing but a heartbreaker

War

Friend only to the undertaker

 

War is the enemy of all mankind

The thought of war blows my mind

Handed down from generation to generation

Induction destruction

Who wants to die

 

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

War

It's nothing but a heartbreaker

War

Friend only to the undertaker

 

War has shattered many young men's dreams

Made them disabled bitter and mean

Life is too precious to be fighting wars each day

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

 

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

War

 

Peace love and understanding

There must be some place for these things today

They say we must fight to keep our freedom

But Lord there's gotta be a better way

That's better than

War

 

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing
