[00:05.36] War, huh, yeah
[00:08.29] What is it good for
[00:10.47] Absolutely nothing
[00:12.47] Uh-huh
[00:12.60] War, huh, yeah
[00:16.59] What is it good for
[00:19.15] Absolutely nothing
[00:20.71] Say it again, y'all
[00:22.33] War, huh, good God
[00:25.51] What is it good for
[00:27.57] Absolutely nothing
[00:29.32] Listen to me
[00:29.94] Ohhh, war, I despise
[00:34.44] Because it means destruction
[00:37.24] Of innocent lives
[00:39.59] War means tears
[00:41.36] To thousands of mothers' eyes
[00:43.92] When their sons go to fight
[00:46.03] And lose their lives
[00:47.91] I said, war, huh
[00:50.72] Good God, y'all
[00:52.09] What is it good for
[00:54.08] Absolutely nothing
[00:55.89] Say it again
[00:56.65] War, whoa, Lord
[01:00.89] What is it good for
[01:02.82] Absolutely nothing
[01:04.70] Listen to me
[01:05.54] War, it isn't nothing
[01:08.16] But a heartbreaker
[01:09.87] War, friend only to the undertaker
[01:14.06] Ooooh, war
[01:15.74] It's an enemy to all mankind
[01:19.80] The point of war blows my mind
[01:23.98] War has caused unrest
[01:25.73] Within the younger generation
[01:28.04] Induction then destruction
[01:30.29] to Who diewants
[01:31.58] Aaaaah, war-huh
[01:34.08] Good God y'all
[01:36.32] What is it good for
[01:38.38] Absolutely nothing
[01:40.19] Say it, say it, say it
[01:42.38] War, huh
[01:43.99] What is it good for
[01:47.12] Absolutely nothing
[01:48.86] Listen to me
[01:49.29] War, it is nothing but a heartbreaker
[01:54.16] War, it's got one friend
[01:56.84] That's the undertaker
[01:58.83] Ooooh, war, has shattered
[02:01.36] Many young men's dreams
[02:03.80] Made him disabled, bitter and mean
[02:07.91] Life is much to short and precious
[02:09.62] To spend fighting wars these days
[02:12.55] War can't give life
[02:14.55] It can only take it away
[02:16.42] Ooooh, war, huh
[02:19.22] Good God y'all
[02:20.54] What is it good for
[02:22.60] Absolutely nothing
[02:24.40] Say it again
[02:25.09] War, whoa, Lord
[02:29.34] What is it good for
[02:31.21] Absolutely nothing
[02:33.20] Listen to me
[02:34.48] War, it is nothing but a heartbreaker
[02:38.10] War, friend only to the undertaker
[02:44.50] Peace, love and understanding
[02:46.68] Tell me, is there no place for them today
[02:52.43] They say we must fight to keep our freedom
[02:56.43] But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
[02:59.98] Ooooooh, war, huh
[03:03.72] Good God y'all
[03:04.97] What is it good for

[03:15.83] Stand up and shout it
[03:17.39] Nothing
