Edwin Starr-War lyrics

Edwin Starr - WAR  
 
  
 
  
 War...huh...yeah  
 
  
 What is it good for?  
 
  
 Absolutely nothing  
 
  
 Uh ha haa ha  
 
  
 War...huh...yeah  
 
  
 What is it good for?  
 
  
 Absolutley nothing...say it again y`all  
 
  
 War..huh...look out...  
 
  
 What is it good for?  
 
  
 Absolutely nothing...listen to me ohhhhh  
 
  
 
  
 WAR! I despise,  
 
  
 `cos it means destruction of innocent lives,  
 
  
 War means tears to thousands of mother`s eyes,  
 
  
 When their sons gone 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! Huh...What is it good for (Edwin  
 sings `Wohh oh Lord` over the top)  
 
  
 Absolutely nothing...listen to me  
 
  
 
  
 WAR! It ain`t nothing but a heartbreaker,  
 
  
 War. Friend only to the undertaker.  
 
  
 Ohhh! 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? Ohhh  
 
  
 
  
 WAR! good God y`all huh  
 
  
 What is it good for?  
 
  
 Absolutely nothing...say it say it SAY IT!  
 
  
 WAR!...uh huh yeah hu!  
 
  
 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.  
 
  
 Ohhhh! War has shattered  
 many a young man`s dream,  
 
  
 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!  
 
  
 
  
 Ohhh WAR! huh...good God y`all  
 
  
 What is it good for?  
 
  
 Absolutely nothing...say it again  
 
  
 War!...huh...woh oh oh 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...woo  
 
  
 Peace lovin` understand then 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.  
 
  
 
  
 Ohhhhhhh WAR! huh...good God y`all...  
 
  
 What is it good for?...you tell me!  
 
  
 Say it say it say it saaaay it!  
 
  
 War! good God now...huh  
 
  
 What is it good for?  
 
  
 Stand up and shout it...NOTHING [END]
