War

Edwin Starr

War (Original Version)

War! ooh! yeah!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothing)
War! ooh! yeah!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothing)

Say it again
War! ooh! yeah!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothing)

Listen to me
War, I despise
Cause 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! ooh! Good God no
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothing)
OK say it again
War! ooh!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothing)
Listen to me
War!
It ain't nothing but a heartbreak

Friend only to the undertaker
It's 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?

War! Good God, ooh! yeah!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothing)
Say say say
War! ooh, ooh yeah!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothing)
Listen to me

War!
It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War!
It got one friend and that's the undertaker
War has shattered
Many young men's dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much too short and precious to spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life, it can only take it away, oh

War! ooh! Good God, yeah!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothing)
Say it again
War! ooh! yeah! 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

Please let the little men come home
Yes, we've got no place for it today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's just got to be a better way, oh

War! ooh! yeah!
What is it good for? You tell me
Say it say it say it say it
Good God
Absolutely (nothing)

War! ooh! yeah!
What is it good for?
Absolutely (nothing)
