Lyrics

War hu yeah what is it good for absolutely nothin
War hu yeah what is it good for absolutely nothin say it again y'all
War hu good god what is it good for absolutely nothin listen to me

War I despise cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War brings tears to thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight and lose their lives

I said war hu good god y'all what is it good for absolutely nothin say it again

War hu oh oh oh lord what is it good for absolutely nothin
Listen to me war it aint nothin 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 (background hu) y'all what is it good for absolutely nothin
Say it say it say it
War hu what is it good for absolutely nothin listen to me
War it aint nothin but a heart breaker
War it's got one friend thats the undertaker oh

War many young mans dreams made him disabled
Bitter and mean life is much too short and precious to spend fighting wars
These days war cant give life it can only take it away oh

War hu good god y'all what is it good for absolutely nothin
Say it again
War hu woah oh oh oh lord what is it good for absolutely nothin listen to me
War it aint nothin but a heart breaker war friend only to the undertaker

Peace love and understand
Tell me is there no place for the other day
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But lord knows theres got to be better way oh

War (background good god yall) hu what is it good for do tell yes
Say it say it say it war hu (background good god y'all)
What is good for stand up and shout it nothin
