What, who, yeah, what is it good for, absolutely, nothing, uh huh, what, who, yeah, what is it
good for, absolutely, nothing, say it again ya'll, what, who, yeah, what is it good for,
absolutely, nothing, listen to me, uh huh, what, I despise, cause it means destruction
of innocent lives, war means tears to thousands above the knife, when their sons go off to
fight and lose their lives, I said, what, who, good God ya'll, what is it good for,
absolutely, nothing, say it again, uh huh, what, who, yeah, what is it good for, absolutely,
nothing, listen to me, uh huh, it ain't nothing but a heartbreak, uh huh, send only to the
undertaker, uh huh, war is an enemy to all men, the thought of war blows my mind, war
has caused unrest within the younger generation, induction then destruction, who wants to die,
uh huh, war, good God ya'll, what is it good for, absolutely, nothing, say it, say it, say it,
war, uh huh, yeah, who, what is it good for, absolutely, nothing, listen to me, uh huh,
it ain't nothing but a heartbreak, uh huh, war has got one friend, that's the undertaker, uh huh,
war has shattered many young men's dreams, made him disabled, bitter and mean, life is
much too short and precious to spend fighting wars each day, war can't give life, it can
only take it away, oh, war, uh huh, good God ya'll, what is it good for, absolutely, nothing,
say it again, war, uh huh, oh Lord, what is it good for, absolutely, nothing, listen to me,
war, it ain't nothing but a heartbreak, uh huh, war, friend only, the undertaker, uh huh,
peace, love and understanding, tell me, it's got no place for the everyday, they say we
must fight to keep our freedom, but Lord knows there's got to be a better way, oh, war, good God ya'll,
what is it good for, you tell me, say it, say it, say it, say it, war, good God, yeah,
what is it good for, stand up and shout it, nothing, war, it ain't nothing but a heartbreak,
oh, war, friend only to the undertaker.
