War (feat. Tony Lindsay)
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again yeah
War, huh, oh yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, well
War I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mother's eyes
When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives, I said
War, oh yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, well
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Oh, war shattered many a young man's dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is too precious to spend fighting wars each day
War can't give life, it can only take it away
War, huh, oh yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Oh, peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for anything else
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's gotta be a better way
War, huh, oh yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, say it again, y'all
War, huh, oh yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, well
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker, yeah, yeah
War, hey, what is it good for
It ain't good for nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again yeah
War, huh, oh yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, well
War I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mother's eyes
When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives, I said
War, oh yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, well
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Oh, war shattered many a young man's dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is too precious to spend fighting wars each day
War can't give life, it can only take it away
War, huh, oh yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Oh, peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for anything else
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's gotta be a better way
War, huh, oh yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, say it again, y'all
War, huh, oh yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing, well
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker, yeah, yeah
War, hey, what is it good for
It ain't good for nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, yeah
