Chorus:
|
War
|
What is it good for?
|
Absolutely nothing
|
|
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
|
Friend only to the undertaker
|
War means tears
|
To thousands of mothers' eyes
|
When their sons go out to fight
|
And their daughters lose their lives in
|
|
Chorus
|
|
War, it's an enemy of all mankind
|
The news of war, it breaks my heart and closes my mind
|
War has laid waste to a whole generation
|
Induction then destruction
|
And who wants to die in a
|
|
War
|
What is it good for
|
Absolutely nothing
|
Tell me
|
War
|
What is it good for
|
Ask yourself this question
|
|
Peace Love and Understanding;
|
Tell me, is there no place for them today
|
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
|
But lord, lord there's got to be a better way
|
|
War
|
What is it good for
|
Tell me, tell me, tell me
|
War
|
|
What is it good for
|
|
Can you tell me now
|
There's got to be a better way
|
|
