Is there no place for them today
Peace love and understanding tell me
What is it good for?
Oh, war, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War, whoa, Lord
War huh yeah
What is it good for?
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
What is it good for?
War, it's got one friend that's the undertaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
War, uh huh, yeah, huh
War whoa Lord
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Absolutely nothing, say it again y'all
When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives
The thought of war blows my mind
War, friend only to the undertaker
Made him disabled bitter and mean
War, good Lord, huh
War, huh good God
Stand up and shout it, nothing
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again
War, huh good God y'all
War means tear to thousands of mothers eyes
War, huh, good God y'all
War, huh, good God y'all
Absolutely nothing, say it, say it, say it
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Absolutely nothing, oh hoh, oh
War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
Oh war, is an enemy to all mankind
What is it good for?
What is it good for?
War, good God, y'all
War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
What is it good for?
Induction, then destruction who wants to die
War, it ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
I said
What is it good for?
Life is much to short and precious to spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life it can only take it away, ooh
Absolutely nothing, just say it again
War has caused unrest within the younger generation
Oh, war has shattered many young man's dreams
What is it good for?
You tell 'em, say it, say it, say it, say it
