Oh no-there's got to be a better way
  Say it again
  There's got to be a better way-yeah
  What is it good for?
  *War has caused unrest
  Among the younger generation
  Induction then destruction
  Who wants to die?
  War-huh
  What is it good for?
  Absolutely nothing
  Say it again
  War-huh
  What is it good for?
  Absolutely nothing
  Yeah
  War-I despise
  'Cos it means destruction
  Of innocent lives
  War means tears
  To thousands of mothers how
  When their sons go off to fight
  And lose their lives
  I said
  War-huh
  It's an enemy of all mankind
  No point of war
  'Cos you're a man
  *(Repeat)
  Give it to me one time-now
  Give it to me one time-now
  War has shattered
  Many young men's dreams
  We've got no place for it today
  They say we must fight to keep our freedom
  But Lord, there's just got to be a better way
  It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
  War
  Friend only to the undertaker
  War
  War
  War-Good God, now
  Now
  Give it to me one time now
  Now now
  What is it good for?
