"War"
A
nti-Vietnam war protest song--
By Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong.
Motown, 1969.
Original vocalists : The Temptations.

War, huh, yeah.
What is it good for?
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!
Because it means the destruction
Of innocent lives.

War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes,
When their sons go 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, whoa, Lord!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!
