Lyrics Edwin Star - War,What is a good for Absolutely

What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing! Uh-huh, yeah
War, hoah, yeah!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing! Say it again y'all!
War, hoah, good God!
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 mother how.
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lifes.
I said,
War, hoah, good God y'all!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing! Say it again!
War, hoah, whoaoaoaooo Lord.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing! Listen to me.
War, it ain't nothing but a hearbreaker
Friend only
To the undertaker.
Oh, War is 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?
Ohhhhhh!
War, hoah, good God y'all!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing! Say it, Say it, Say it!
War, uh-huh yeah, hoah!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing! Listen to me.
It ain't nothing
But a heartbreaker.
It's got one friend
And that's the undertaker.
War has shattered
Many young man's dreams.
Made him disable,
Bitter, and Mean.
Life it much too short and precious
To spend fighting these wars these day.
War can't give life,
It can only take it away!
Ohhhhhh!
War, hoah, good God y'all!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing! Say it again!
War, (whoa, whoa, whooo) hoah, Lord!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing! Listen to me.
It ain't nothing
But a heartbreak.
Friend only,
To the undertaker.
Please woman,
Understand and tell me.
Is there no place
For you and me?
They say we must fight
To keep our freedom.
But Lord knows
There's got to be a better way!
Ohhhhhhh!
War, hoah, good God y'all!
What is it good for? You tell 'em
Nothing! Say it, Say it, Say it!
War, good God now!
What is it good for? Stand up beside it!
Nothing!
