War - Shawn James

War I despise

'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives

War means tears to thousands of mothers' eyes

When their sons go out 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, huh) Lord, lord, lord, 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, awwww

War is the enemy of all mankind

The thought of war blows my mind

War has caused unrest, within the younger generation

Induction then destruction.

Who wants to die?

Awwww!

(War, huh) good God y’all

(What is it good for?) Absolutely nothing, say it, say it, say it

(War, huh) Oh-ohh 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, awwww

War has shattered many young men’s dreams

Made them disabled, bitter and mean

Life is much too short and precious to be fighting wars these days

War can’t give life, it can only take it away, awwww!

(War, huh) Good God y’all

(What is it good for?) Absolutely nothing, say it

(War, huh) Lord, lord, lord, lord

(What is it good for?) Oh, absolutely nothing

Listen to me

(War), It ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker

(War), Friend only to the undertaker, woooo!

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 gotta be a better way, ooohhh

(War, huh) Good God y’all

(What is it good for?) You tell me, say it, say it, say it, say it

(War, huh) good God y’all

(What is it good for?) Stand up and shout it (Nothing)
