War (Huh, yeah)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing (Uh-huh, yeah)

War (Huh, yeah)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing (say it again, y'all)

War (Huh, good god)
What is it good for?
Absolutely Nothing (Listen to me)

War, I despise
Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go out to fight
And lose their lives

(Chorus 2x)

War ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
(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?

(Chorus 2x)

War ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
It's got one friend, that's the undertaker

Oh, war has shattered many young man's dreams
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

(Chorus 2x)

War ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
(War)
Friend only to the undertaker

These moments they understand and tell me
Is there no place for everyday?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord, there's just got to be a better way

(Chorus 3x...fade)
