Lyrics War - Frankie Goes To Hollywood

War

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)
