War

When we grew up in the sixties
We grew up
With war on TV every night
A war that your friends were involved in
We had uh
I wanna do this song tonight for all the young people out there
If you're in your teens
'Cause I remember
A lot of my friends when we were seventeen or eighteen and we didn't
Have much of a chance to think about
How we felt about a lot of things
And er
The next time
They're gonna be looking at you
And you're gonna need a lot of information to know
What you're
Gonna wanna do
Because in nineteen eighty five
Blind faith in your leaders
Or in anything
Will get you killed
'Cause what I'm talking about here is

War
Hu yeah yeah yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothin'
Say it again

War
Hu wo wo wo yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothin'
Come on

War is something that I despise
'Cause it means the destruction of innocent lives
And thousands others and mothers cry
When their sons go off to fight
And give their lives

I said war
Hu wo wo wo yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothin'
Say it again

War
Hu no no no yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothin'
Care

War it ain't nothin but a heart breaker
War friend only to the undertaker

Yeah now war is an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war it blows my mind
Handed down from generation to generation
Induction, destruction
Who wants to die

War
Hu wo wo no no
What is it good for
Absolutely nothin'
Say it again

War
Hu yeah yeah yeah yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothin'
C'mon man

War ain't nothin but a heart breaker
War friend only to the undertaker
War has shattered many young men's dreams
Ain't good for anyone bitter and mean

Life is too precious to fight for these days
War can't give life it can only take it away

War
Hu oh oh oh yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothin'
Say it again

War
Hu good god yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothin'

Peace love and understanding y'all
There's nothing no place for these things today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But lord there's got to be another way

That's better than war
Hu oh oh oh yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothin'
Say it again

War
Hu good god
What is it good for
Absolutely nothin'
C'mon man

War
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothin'
Say it again

War
Hu yeah
What is it good for

I'm talking 'bout war
