War huh yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
War huh yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing

Say it again y'all
War huh look out
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me oh

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
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War it ain't nothing but a heart breaker
War friend only to the undertaker
Oh, 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, oh

War good God y'all huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War uh huh yeah huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

War it ain't nothing but a heart breaker
War it's got one friend that's the undertaker
Oh, 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

Oh, 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 heart breaker
War friend only to the undertaker
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

Oh, war huh good God y'all
What is it good for?
You tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it
War! good God now huh
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it
Nothing
