Chorus:
War
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothingWar, 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
ChorusWar, 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 aWar
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Tell me
War
What is it good for
Ask yourself this questionPeace 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
WarWhat is it good forCan you tell me now
There's got to be a better way
