Yeah!

Absolutely (nothin) uh-huh, uh-huh

Yeah!

Say it again, y'all

(War) h'uh (h'uh) look out!

Ooh war, I despise

'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives

War means tears, to thousands of mother's eyes

When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives

I said, war (h'uh)

Good God, y'all!

Absolutely (nothin') 'gin

(War) whoa (h'uh) whoa-whoa, Lord

(War)

It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker!

(War)

Ooh, 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?

Ooh war, Good God (h'uh) y'all!

(War)

Woah-h'uh (h'uh) yeah uh

(Absolutely) nothin'

(War)

(War)

It's got one thing and that's the undertaker

Ooh, war

Has shattered many a-young man's dreams

Made him disabled, bitter, and mean

And life is much too short and precious

To spend fighting wars each day

War can't give life

It can only take it away

Oh, war!

(H'uh) Good God, y'all

(War)

Whoa (h'uh) whoa-whoa, Lord

A-absolutely (nothin')

(War)

(War)

Woo!

Peace, love and understanding tell me

Is there no place for anything else?

They say we must fight

To keep our freedom

But Lord, knows there's got to be

A better way

Oooh

(War)

God, y'all! (uh)

You tell 'em! (h'uh)

(War)

Good God (h'uh) now, h'uh

Stand up and shout it

(Nothin'!)
