The Temptations — War

[Chorus: The Temptations] War, huh What is it good for? Nothing War, huh What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again War, huh, good god What is it good for? Absolutely nothing [Verse 1: Dennis Edwards] War, I despise 'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives War means tears to thousands of mothers' eyes When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives [Chorus: The Temptations] I said, war, huh What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again War, huh What is it good for? Absolutely nothing [Verse 2: Dennis Edwards] War, it's nothing but a heartbreak War, friend only to the undertaker War, is an enemy to all mankind The thought of war blows my mind War has caused unrest within the younger generation Induction then destruction, who wants to die? [Chorus: The Temptations] Oh, war, huh, good God, y'all What is it good for? (You tell 'em) Nothing War, good God, huh What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, good God [Verse 3: Dennis Edwards] War, it's nothing but a heartbreaker War, friend only to the undertaker Wars have shattered many young men's dreams Made him disabled, bitter and mean Life is much too short and precious to spend fighting wars these days War can't give life, it can only take it away [Chorus: The Temptations] Oh, war, huh, good God What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, mhm War, huh, good God almighty, listen What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, yeah [Verse 4: Dennis Edwards] War, it's nothing but a heartbreaker War, friend only to the undertaker 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 it got to be a better way I said [Chorus: The Temptations] War, huh, yeah yeah What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again War, huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again War, huh, nothing but a heartbreaker What is it good for?
