Barrett Strong - War lyrics

[Intro] (War, what is it good for?) Absolutely nothing (War, what is it good for?) Absolutely nothing (War, what is it good for?) Absolutely nothing [Verse 1] War is something that I despise Because it means destruction of innocent lives War means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes When their sons go out to fight and lose their lives I said [Hook] (War) good God y'all (What is it good for?) Absolutely nothing, say it again (War, what is it good for?) Absolutely nothing [Verse 2] (War), It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker (War), Friend only to the undertaker War is the enemy of all mankind The thought of war blows my mind War has caused unrest, within the younger generation Induction then destruction. Who wants to die? [Hook] (War) good God y'all (What is it good for?) Absolutely nothing, say it, say it, say it (War, what is it good for?) Absolutely nothing [Verse 3] (War), It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker (War), Its only friend is the undertaker War has shattered many young men's dreams Made them disabled, bitter and mean Life is much too short and precious to be fighting wars these days War can't give life it can only take it away [Hook] (War) good God y'all (What is it good for?) Absolutely nothing, say it (War, what is it good for?) Absolutely nothing [Verse 4] Listen to me (War), It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker (War), Friend only to the undertaker 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 gotta be a better way [Hook] (War) good God y'all (What is it good for?) You tell me, say it, say it, say it, say it (War) good God y'all (What is it good for?) Stand up and shout it (Nothing)
