"War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing! There's got to be a better way What is it good for? War has caused unrest Among the younger generation Induction then destruction Who wants to die? ... War-I despise Because it means destruction Of innocent lives War means tears To thousands of mothers how When their sons go off to fight And lose their lives ... It's an enemy of all mankind No point of war Because you're a man ... War has shattered Many young men's dreams We've got no place for it today They say we must fight to keep our freedom But Lord, there's just got to be a better way It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker Friend only to the undertaker"
