Joan Osborne War Lyrics

War Lyrics

Chorus:

War

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing



War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker

Friend only to the undertaker

War means tears

To thousands of mothers' eyes

When their sons go out to fight

And their daughters lose their lives in



Chorus



War, it's an enemy of all mankind

The news of war, it breaks my heart and closes my mind

War has laid waste to a whole generation

Induction then destruction

And who wants to die in a 



War 

What is it good for

Absolutely nothing

Tell me

War

What is it good for

Ask yourself this question



Peace Love and Understanding;

Tell me, is there no place for them today

They say we must fight to keep our freedom

But lord, lord there's got to be a better way



War

What is it good for

Tell me, tell me, tell me

War 



What is it good for



Can you tell me now

There's got to be a better way
