    Absolutely nothing Oh, war, has shattered many a young mans
    Say it again, why'all dreams

    War, huh, good god Life is much to short and precious
    What is it good for To spend fighting wars these days
    Absolutely nothing, listen to me War can't give life
    It can only take it away
    Oh, war, I despise
    'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives Oh, war, huh good god why'all
    What is it good for
    War means tears to thousands of mothers Absolutely nothing say it again
    eyes
    When their sons go to fight (War) whoa, lord
    And lose their lives What is it good for
    Absolutely nothing listen to me
    I said, war, huh good god, why'all
    What is it good for (War) it ain't nothing but a heart breaker
    Absolutely nothing say it again (War) friend only to the undertaker
    Peace, love and understanding
    War, whoa, lord Tell me, is there no place for them today
    What is it good for They say we must fight to keep our freedom
    Absolutely nothing, listen to me But lord knows there's got to be a better way

    (War) it ain't nothing but a heart-breaker Oh, war, huh good god why'all
    (War) friend only to the undertaker What is it good for you tell me
    Oh, war it's an enemy to all mankind Say it, say it, say it, say it
    The point of war blows my mind
    War has caused unrest (War) huh good god why'all
    Within the younger generation What is it good for
    Induction then destruction Stand up and shout it nothing
    Who wants to die, ah, war-huh, good god
    why'all
    What is it good for
    Absolutely nothing
