Edwin Starr - War Lyrics
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, uh-huh, uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
Absolutely nothing, say it again, y'all
War, huh, good god
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Oh 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
I said, war, huh, good god, y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again
War, huh, whoa-oh-whoa-oh, Lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreak
War, friend only to the undertaker
Oh, 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?
Oh, war, huh, good god, y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it, say it, say it
War, huh, uh-huh, yeah, uh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, it got one friend, that's the undertaker
Oh, war has shattered many a young man'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
Oh, war, huh, good god, y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again
War, huh, whoa-oh-whoa-oh, 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
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 got to be a better way
Oh, war, huh, good god, y'all
What is it good for?
You tell me, (nothing) say it, say it, say it, say it
War, huh, good god, yeah, huh
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it (nothing)

F**k Trump
Iran Poking The Sleeping Giant .
Welp, Iran just launched missiles at a U.S. base in Iraq. Ya'll ARE watching the news, right?
Show this to USA and Iran pls
People need to understand that the United States will never draft again. The last time they did a draft was in the 70s during Vietnam.
Ma Gu they won’t, as long as there are enough volunteers.
Here we go.
ITS THAT TIME AGAIN
War never changes
1/7/20 - There's no turning back now.
That song is the shit!!!😄😄😄
Welp, this became worrying relevant again...
RUSH HOUR.

WW3 didn't happen and half life 3 has never been released yet, chill y'all.
Did you know Edwin Starr helped produce the song "Get the Money" for DIsneys 1982 "Mousercise" album? Just thought you might like to know

He doesn't "maybe" shoudl listen to it, he NEEDS To listen to it.
Someone needs to play at the white house
What is it good for? Absolutely nothing

Times have not changed in this capitalistic, cruel nation, billions spent on the War Machine and nothing for the citizens. This country is cursed.
Only World War 3 kids remember this one
Listening during WW3 ✊🇲🇽
Truly the best music to burn London to.
Hellsing Abridged! ^_^
A song that will never stop being powerful and relevant.

I really hope things don't escalate into something gruesome...
WWIII incoming (hopefully not)
War!! War!! War!! Bomb Iran!!
@Gamer Historian 🖕
This song is relevant since Trump decide to start off the year WITH A WAR WITH IRAN!
"People hate him! He found a simple trick to become the most hated president in history (click to see how)!"
Very true
A real Motheerfucker Maaan.
Unnecessary Iran war, 1-2-20.
Here we go
The Penultimate Examiner Thanks to retaliation on our part since they attacked our embassy and funded militias that have killed Americans
@The Penultimate Examiner You blame Trump but that's fucking stupid. We've been in the Saudi-Iran Proxy War since 2001. And we weren't helping the Iranians.
@The Penultimate Examiner You blame Trump but that's fucking stupid. We've been in the Saudi-Iran Proxy War since 2001. And we weren't helping the Iranians. Trump is merely using the escalation to bolster American interests. It's Trump's fault for escalation but it would also be Trump's fault if we stood by while Iranian-backed militias murdered our lads for backing our allies. In other words - you people cannot be pleased.

Let us remember the lyrics of this song this Veteran's Day,
VAR what is it good for?
UK Gladiators brought me here
Say no to War!
Say yes to Peace✌
Vietnam got Son ,Father ,Wemen killed. Those soldiers saw and had to do horrible things no wonder so many came back on heroin. I remember joining tha Army got sent to Germany in 1975 me and some of my friends went to the club one night I remember seeing these young men and wemen at a table some was nodding off to sleep some was scratching theirselves and some just had this blank stare in their eyes I asked a friend what up with those people at that table he replied that is the stoners. I asked him what he meant he said they all been to Vietnam and they are high on the Big H still I said to him I don't know what the Big H is he said they are high on heroin said most of the soldiers came back hooked on that junk because of all the death of people some soldier had to kill children because children were trying to kill them.So every time I hear this song I think about those people at that table in the club so high they didn't even know where they were. Vietnam had messed up some many of our people that was not even a war they called it policing Vietnam. We lost so many people for what Political reasons the only thing it Vietnam did was to mess up so many young and older Americans .Tha American soldiers should never been there . I will alway stand up and shake anyone that served in Vietnam because all it caused was death and making our soliders life messed up.
I remember This Song Like it Was Yesterday!!!
Tropic thunder ohhh yea
bad song
They should put this song in Stranger Things.
Wie is hier voor Nieuwe Honden 2019
We do not need war. It only benefits the Bankers.
Google this: "July 1, 1916 Worst day in British military history." 58,000 British casualties on one day. By contrast, the US had 53,000
casualties on both sides in the three days of Gettysburg. That did not have to happen. In Ferdinand Lundberg's America's 60 Families we
were told that Mr Thomas Lamont, a business of associate of J P Morgan, addressed a business conference in Philadelphia in 1915 saying
that WW I would be good for business. By entering WW I America would make the war last long enough to bankrupt England and France.
Another reason for WW I to last beyond 1915 was to create Palestine as a Jewish colony. And the third reason was to bankrupt Russia so
the Communists could set up a violent dictatorship that eventually killed more than 60 million Gentiles.
German Generals in March of 1939 had offered to arrest Hitler if Britain would not declare war on them. But His Majesty's
Jewish Government had decided they wanted war. The Rothschild owned Bank of England had loaned Hitler 350 million pounds in
1935-36 so he could re-arm. The Japanese Emperor had been trying to surrender since 1936. That means that 58 million people
died for no good reason after March of 1939 other than the fact that the Rothschilds like war.
Los viajes de gulliver ?????
It sure reminds me of Don Ellis' piece "Go Back Home"!
Why change the words.
