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
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord, there's just got to be a better way
It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War
War
War-Good God, now
Now
Give it to me one time now
Now now
What is it good for?

WAR

War... (huh!) Yeah!

What is it good for?

Absolutely... (nothin'!) Uh huh uh hu-uh.

War... (huh!) Yeah!

What is it good for?

Absolutely... (nothin'!) Say it again y'all.

War... (huh!) Look out!

What is it good for?

Absolutely... (nothin'!) Listen to me.

Ahhh war...
I despise, cause it means destruction of innocent life.
War means tears to thousands of mothers' eye,
When their sons go off to fight and loose their life.

I said, war... (huh!) Good God y'all.

What is it good for?

Absolutely... (nothin'!) Say it again.

War... (huh!) Whoa whoa whoa Lord.

What is it good for?

Absolutely... (nothin'!) Listen to me.

War...
It ain't nothin' but a heart breaker.
War...
Friend only, to the undertaker.

Ahhh war...
Is an enemy to all mankind.
The thought of war blows my mind.
War has caused unrest within the younger generation.
Induction, then destruction. Who wants to die?

Ahhh war... (huh!) Good God y'all.

What is it good for?

Absolutely... (nothin'!) Say it, say it, say it.

War... (huh!) Uh huh yeah, huh!

What is it good for?

Absolutely... (nothin'!) Listen to me.

War...
It ain't nothin' but a heart breaker.
War...
It got one friend, that's the undertaker.

Ahhh war...
Has shattered, many a young mans dreams.
Made him disabled, bitter and mean.
Life is but too short and precious,
It's been fighting wars each day.
War can't give life, it can only take it away.

Ahhh war... (huh!) Good God y'all.

What is it good for?

Absolutely... (nothin'!) Say it again.

War... (huh!) Whoa whoa whoa Lord.

What is it good for?

Absolutely... (nothin'!) Listen to me.

War...
It ain't nothin' but a heart breaker.
War...
Friend only, to the undertaker.

wooo

Peace lovin' that this band can 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.

Ahhh war... (huh!) Good God y'all.

What is it good for?

You tell 'em. (nothin'!) Say it, say it, say it, say it.

War... (huh!) Good God now, huh!

What is it good for?

Stand up and shout it. (nothin'!)... [FADE OUT]
