Absolutely nothing, uh-huh, uh-huh

Absolutely nothing, say it again, y'all

War, huh, good god

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

War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreak

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?

Absolutely nothing, say it, say it, say it

War, huh, uh-huh, yeah, uh

War, it got one friend, that's the undertaker

Oh, war has 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

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

You tell me, (nothing) say it, say it, say it, say it

War, huh, good god, yeah, huh

Stand up and shout it (nothing)
