War lyrics (War! huh What is it good for?)

Sung by Edwin Starr or just about anybody – War is the song that asks the right question (What is it good for?)

War! huh-yeah

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing

Uh-huh

War! huh-yeah

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing

Say it again y’all

War! huh good God

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing

Listen to me?

Ohhh? War! I despise

Because it means destruction?

Of innocent lives

War means tears

to thousands of mothers eyes

When their sons go to fight

and lose their lives

I said – War! Huh Good God y’all

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War! Whoa, Lord …

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Listen to me?

War! It ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker

War! Friend only to the undertaker

War! It’s an enemy to all mankind

The thought of war blows my mind

War has caused unrest in the younger generation

Induction then destruction-

Who wants to die?

Ohhh? War Good God y’all

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing

Say it, Say it, Say it

War! Uh-huh Yeah – Huh!

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing

Listen to me?

War! It ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker

War! It’s got one friend, that’s the undertaker

War has shattered many a young mans dreams

Made him disabled bitter and mean

Life is much to precious to spend fighting wars these days

War can’t give life, it can only take it away

War! Huh Good God y’all

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War! Whoa, Lord …

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Listen to me?

War! It ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker

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

War! Huh Good God y’all

What is it good for?

You tell me

Say it, Say it, Say it

War! Huh Good God y’all

What is it good for?

Stand up and shout it.

Nothing!
