War - As performed by Bruce Springsteen 09/30/1985

 (Barrett Strong / Norman Whitfield)



(Complete song in G)



War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing



War is something that I despise

For it means destruction of innocent lives

War means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes

When their sons go out to fight to give their lives



War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing



War

It's nothing but a heartbreaker

War

Friend only to the undertaker



War is the enemy of all mankind

The thought of war blows my mind

Handed down from generation to generation

Induction destruction

Who wants to die



War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing



War

It's nothing but a heartbreaker

War

Friend only to the undertaker



War has shattered many young men's dreams

Made them disabled bitter and mean

Life is too precious to be fighting wars each day

War can't give life it can only take it away



War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing



Peace love and understanding

There must be some place for these things today

They say we must fight to keep our freedom

But Lord there's gotta be another way

That's better than

War



War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing



War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Say it again

War

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

I'm talking about

War
