War
   What is it good for
   Absolutely nothing
   War
   What is it good for
   Absolutely nothing
   War is something that I despise
   For it means destruction of innocent lives
   For it means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes
   When their sons go out to fight to give their lives
  
   War
   What is it good for
   Absolutely nothing
   Say it again
   War
   What is it good for
   Absolutely nothing
  
   War
   It's nothing but a heartbreaker
   War
   Friend only to the undertaker
   War is the enemy of all mankind
   The thought of war blows my mind
   Handed down from generation to generation
   Induction destruction
   Who wants to die
  
   War
   What is it good for
   Absolutely nothing
   Say it again
   War
   What is it good for
   Absolutely nothing
  
   War has shattered many young men's dreams
   Made them disabled bitter and meanLife is too precious to be fighting wars
   each day
   War can't give life it can only take it away
  
   War
   It's nothing but a heartbreaker
   War
   Friend only to the undertaker
   Peace love and understanding
   There must be some place for these things today
   They say we must fight to keep our freedom
   But Lord there's gotta be a better way
   That's better than
   War
  
   War
   What is it good for
   Absolutely nothing
   Say it again
   War
   What is it good for
   Absolutely nothing
