"War" by Edwin Starr, War and Peace (1970)
War-huh-yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely NOTHING!
Uh huh, Uh huh (repeat)
War-I despise
Cos it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers how
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives
I said
War-huh (etc)
War has caused unrest
Among the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
I said
War-huh (etc)
It's an enemy of all mankind
The thought of war
Blows my mind
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord, there's just got to be a better way
War
It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War
