War

War-huh-YAH!
What it is good for
Absolutely...nothing
Uhuh..Uhuh
War-huh-YAH!
What it is good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again yall
War-huh-GOOD GOD!
What it is good for
Absolutely..nothing
Listen to me-AHHHHHHH!
War I despise
Cuz 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
I said..
War-huh-good god yall
What it is good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
(War)Lord, lord, lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

(War)It aint nothing but a heartbreaker
(War)Friend only to the undertaker
War is the enemy of all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest within the younger generations
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die

War-huh-good god yall
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
say it, Say It, SAY IT
War-huh(uhuh yah HUH)
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
(War)It aint nothing but a heartbreaker
(War)Got one friend, thats the undertaker

War has shattered many young men's dreams
Made him disabled bitter and mean
Life is but too surely precious to spend fighting wars each day
War can't give life it can only take it away!

War-huh-good god yall
What it is a good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War-Huh-Lord, lord, lord
What it is a good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
(War)It aint nothing but a heartbreaker
(War)Friend only to the undertaker
Peace love and understanding tell me
Is there a place for these today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows theres got to be a better way

War-huh-good god yall
What is it good for
You tell me
say it, say It, Say It, SAY IT
War-good god now-huh
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it (nothing) (less)

1. YAH!

this song is my husband's cell ring - when we are shopping together - even in the grocery store - I will call him from the next aisle - just to spread the message!

2. Thanks! This song is in constant rotation in our house.

Here's to Edwin Starr! Next week will mark the 5th anniversary of his death.

3. That was/is one hell of a generation.

It's a blessing to see the kids have taken the torch.
