War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

War it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
Friend only to the undertaker

War means tears
To thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go out to fight
And their daughters lose their lives in
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

War it's an enemy of all mankind
The news of war
It breaks my heart and close my mind
War has laid waste to a whole generation
Induction then destruction
And who wants to die in a
War

What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Tell me war
What is it good for
Ask yourself this question

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 Lord Lord there's got to be a better way
Say war
What is it good for
Tell me tell me tell me
War
What is it good for
What is it good for
What is it good for
What is it good for
What is it good for
What is it good for
What is it good for
What is it good for
What is it good for
What is it good for

Ohh can you tell me now

There's got to be a better way
