Lyrics:
War, huh
What is it good for?
nothing

War, huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing

War, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears and thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives

I said

Say it again

War, it’s nothing but a heartbreak
War, friend only to the undertaker
War, is an enemy to all mankind
Thought of war blow to my mind
War has caused unrest within the younger generation
Induction then destruction, who wants to die?

Oh, war, huh
What is it good for?
Tou tell, nothing

War, huh, uh-huh, yeah, uh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, Good God

War, it’s nothing but a heartbreak
War, friend only to the undertaker

Oh, war has shattered many young men's 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


War, it’s nothing but a heartbreak
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
