1. War, huh, yeah, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again.

    War, huh, yeah, what is it good for?  Absolutely nothing, listen to me!
     e
    War I despise, `cause it means destruction of innocent lives,

    women in tears for thousands of mothers` lives,

    when their son`s are gonna fight and lose their lives.+ Refrain

2. War ain`t nothing but a heartbreaker,  friend only to the  undertaker.           

    War is an enemy to all mankind,  the thought of war blows round them.

    War has caused unrest within the younger generation,

    induction and destruction, who wants to die ?  + Refrain

3. War ain`t nothing but a heartbreaker,    

    got one friend,  that`s the undertaker.

    War has shattered many young man`s dreams,

    made him desert all, you and me.

    Life is too precious, you can make use of it,

    war can`t give life, it can only take it away.   + Refrain
    e
4. War ain` t nothing but a heartbreaker,  friend only to the undertaker.

    Please, woman understand and tell me,

    is there no place for the human race?

    They say we must fight to keep our freedom,

    the Lord knows there`s gotta be a better way.

+ Refrain ,   (rep. and fade)        (Edwin Starr)
