War lyrics

Joan Osborne See albums and popular songs

Chorus:WarWhat is it good for?Absolutely
nothingWar, it ain't nothing but a
heartbreakerFriend only to the undertakerWar means
tearsTo thousands of mothers' eyesWhen their
sons go out to fightAnd their daughters lose their lives
inChorusWar, it's an enemy of all
mankindThe news of war, it breaks my heart and closes my
mindWar has laid waste to a whole generationInduction then destructionAnd who wants to die in a War What is it good forAbsolutely nothingTell meWarWhat is it good forAsk yourself
this questionPeace Love and Understanding;Tell
me, is there no place for them todayThey say we must fight
to keep our freedomBut lord, lord there's got to be a
better wayWarWhat is it good forTell me,
tell me, tell meWar What is it good forCan you tell me nowThere's got to be a better
way
