Edwin Starr War Lyrics

War! Huh. Yeah.
What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!
Uh-huh.

War! Huh. Yeah.
What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!
Say it again, y'all.

War! Huh. Good God.
What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!
Listen to me:

Ohhh, war I despise
'cause it means destruction of innocent lives.
War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
when their sons go out to fight and lose their lives.

I said, war! Huh. Good God, y'all.
What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!
Just say it again. War! Whoa (Huh), whoa, whoa, Lord.
What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!
Listen to me:

War!
It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker.
War!
Friend only to the undertaker.
Aaaah, war!
It's an enemy to all mankind.
The point of war blows my mind.
War has caused unrest within the younger generation.
Induction, then destruction; who wants to die?

Aaaaah! War! Good (Huh!) God, y'all.
What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!
Say it, say it, say it! War! Huh (Uh-huh, yeah).
What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!

Listen to me:

War!
It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker.
War!
It's got one friend: that's the undertaker.
Ooooh, war, has shattered many a young man'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.

Ooooh, war! Huh. Good God, y'all.
What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!
Say it again; War, whoa (huh), whoa, whoa, Lord.
What is it good for? Oh, absolutely nothin'!

Listen to me:

War!
It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker!
War!
Friend only to the undertaker. Oh!
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!

Ooooooh, war! Huh. Come on, y'all.
What is it good for? You tell me.
(Nothin!) Say it, say it, say it, say it.
War, huh; Good God, yeah.
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it.
Nothin'!
War!
It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker.
