War

Edwin Starr演唱,Norman Whitfield及barrett Strong詞曲 (1970)

War! - huh- yeah- 
What is it good for? 
Absolutely nothing 
Uh-huh 

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… 

Ohhh… War! I despise 
Because it means destruction』 
Of innocent lives 

War means tears 
to thousands of mothers eyes 
When their sons go to fight 
and lose their lives 

I said - War! Huh – Good God y』all 
What is it good for? 
Absolutely nothing 
Say it again 

War! Whoa, Lord 
What is it good for 
Absolutely nothing 
Listen to me… 

War! It ain』t nothing but a heartbreaker 
War! Friend only to the undertaker 
War! It』s an enemy to all mankind 
The thought of war blows my mind 

War has caused unrest in the younger generation 
Induction then destruction- 
Who wants to die? 

Ohhh… War – Good God Y』all 
What is it good for? 
Absolutely nothing 
Say it, Say it, Say it 

War! Uh-huh – Yeah - Huh! 
What is it good for? 
Absolutely nothing 
Listen to me… 

War! It ain』t nothing but a heartbreaker 
War! It』s got one friend, that』s the undertaker 
War has shattered many a young mans dreams 
Made him disabled bitter and mean 
Life is much to precious to spend fighting wars these days 
War can』t give life, it can only take it away 

War! Huh – Good God y』all 
What is it good for? 
Absolutely nothing 
Say it again 

War! Whoa, Lord 
What is it good for 
Absolutely nothing 
Listen to me… 

War! It ain』t nothing but a heartbreaker 
War! Friend only to the undertaker 
Peace Love and Understanding; 
tell me, is there no place for them today? 
They say we must fight to keep our freedom 
But Lord knows there』s got to be a better way 

War! Huh – Good God y』all 
What is it good for? 
You tell me 
Say it, Say it, Say it 


War! Huh – Good God y』all 
What is it good for? 
Stand up and shout it. 
Nothing!
