Transposer:

War...huh..yeah! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Unnnh! War! hunnnh! yeah! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Say it again, y'all. War! Huh, Good God, Y'all! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Listen to me.. War! I despise! Because it means destruction of innocent lives. War! Means tears to thousands of mother's eyes, when their sons go to fight and lose their lives. War...huh..yeah! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Unnnh! War! hunnnh! yeah! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Say it again, y'all. War! Huh, Good God, Y'all! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Listen to me.. War! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker. War! friend only to the undertaker. Ooooh, 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? Unnnnh! War...huh..yeah! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Unnnh! War! hunnnh! yeah! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Say it again, y'all. War! Huh, Good God, Y'all! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Listen to me.. War! it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker. War! it's got one friend..that's the undertaker. Ooooh, WAR! has shattered many a young man's dreams. Made him disabled, bitter and mean. Life is much to short and precious to spend fighting wars these days. War! can't give life..It can only take it away. War...huh..yeah! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Unnnh! War! hunnnh! yeah! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Say it again, y'all. War! Huh, Good God, Y'all! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Listen to me.. War! it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker. War! friend only to the undertaker. 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. War...huh..yeah! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Unnnh! War! hunnnh! yeah! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Say it again, y'all. War! Huh, Good God, Y'all! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing..Listen to me... (x2)

Cette chanson aborde le thème de la guerre en insistant sur son inutilité et ses conséquences dévastatrices. Elle souligne à quel point elle engendre souffrance et désolation, tant pour les soldats que pour leurs familles, provoquant des larmes et des pertes irréparables. L'artiste dépeint la guerre comme un véritable destructeur de vies, un facteur de tristesse et d'amertume, qui ne laisse que des souvenirs douloureux. Rappelons que ce morceau a été écrit durant une période marquée par des conflits militaires et des mouvements pacifistes, en particulier pendant la guerre du Vietnam. Le message véhiculé est un appel à la paix et à la compréhension, suggérant qu'il existe des alternatives au combat pour préserver nos libertés. La chanson reste donc un cri du cœur pour une société désireuse d'éviter les horreurs de la guerre.
