Black Stone Cherry - War Lyrics






War, huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Wow-wow
War, huh
Yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing

Say it again y'all
War, huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing

Listen to me
War
I despise, causing meanless destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
When the sons go out to fight and lose their lives
I say

War, huh
Good god y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, huh
Wow-wow-wow lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me

Ain't nothing but a heart breaker
Got one friend, that's the undertaker
War is an enemy to all mankind
The soul of what blows my mind
War is causing wrecks in the younger generation
Induction
Destruction
I said who wants to die?

War, huh
Good god y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
Aha yeah
Huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing

Listen to me
War
Ain't nothing but a heart breaker
Got one friend, that's the undertaker
War, huh
Wow-wow-wow lord
War

Has shattered many on these streets
Maimed and disabled
Bitter and weak
Life is too short and precious to spend fighting war these days
War can't give life
It can only take it away

War, huh
Good god y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, huh
Wow-wow-wow lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing

Listen to me
War
Ain't nothing but a heart breaker
Got one friend, that's the undertaker
War, huh
Wow-wow-wow lord

Please let me understand and tell me
Is there a 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
Good god y'all
What is it good for?
You gone tell me
Nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
Wow-wow-wow lord
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing

You listen to me
War
Ain't nothing but a heart breaker
Got one friend, that's the undertaker
War, huh
Wow-wow-wow lord
What is it good for?
Nothing

War
What is it good for?
War
What is it good for?
War

    There are truly powerful verses in this song. It's nice that it's catchy, but I hope you've received the critical message that this song offers. A few good examples:


    War means tears to thousands of mothers eyes
    When their sons go to fight
    And lose their lives


    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 has caused unrest
    Within the younger generation
    Induction then destruction

  40. W.... ....

    Great cover

  41. R.... S....

    BSC needs a whole album of just covers. everything they do is amazing!

  42. Z.... R....

    Rush hour and Walking Dead brought me here

    Z.... R....

    Black Stone Cherry didn't sing the song on rush hour. that was the original version.
    But I like this one better

    Z.... R....

    which plays at the time of the rush is sung by Edwin Starr, but that is very similar to the version of Black Stone Cherry, until I confused.

  43. Y.... C....

    Man, just discovered this album, this is fckin brilliant !

  44. W.... W....

    now I want to watch rush hour

  45. G.... ....

    What is it good for?!

    G.... ....

    boosting your military industrial stock....ask the politicians

    G.... ....

    DaBear1950 I think your politicians are not mine

    G.... ....

    I don't have any, I'm not rich

    G.... ....

    Absolutely nothing. Say it again. yall.

  46. B.... L....

    This cover... WOW! Anybody else remember hearing the Edwin Starr version in the Small Soldiers movie back in 1998?

    B.... L....

    "COMMANDOS, ATTACK!!"

    B.... L....

    LOL some of us remember Edwin Starr's version in LP in early 70;s !!! But this is awesome ROCK!!

    B.... L....

    JediKnightwing GORGINITE SCUM x'D

    B.... L....

    @Kay Raedclyffe Listen to The Boss's version, too.

    B.... L....

    Hell yea man!

  47. E.... ....

    Holy crap, been a fan of BSC for years but didn't expect this cover to be as amazing as it is! Really hope they play this live next tour :D It'd be awesome!

  48. C.... V....

    I was thinking of the original song when I read the title and the the song comes in "WAR" and it instantly made me surprised :)

  49. C.... T....

    Came here because of the Billions commercial from FOX

    C.... T....

    Cyrus The Great I came here because I love BSC

  50. M.... G....

    Sounds identical to "live for the moment".

  51. L.... M....

    A great 70's tune, yes I'm old lol! I love it when a great steady Rock Band (BSC) does a cover, I can judge because the original was one of my favorites. Unfriggin believable ::::::::::::::DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  52. N.... R....

    This is dangerously awesome. Halestorm recommended.

  53. A.... D....

    This is also going to my playlist. Keep up the good work Black Stone Cherry!

  54. A.... D....

    I just heard this on the radio and I like it. I'm glad they also dropped their major label.

  55. R.... S....

    Better than Edwin Starr's 1969 edition of the Original!

  56. D.... R....

    What a great cover of a classic song.... BSC just keep pullin it out the bag

  57. T.... P....

    Should be Bernie Sander's campaign song.

  62. S.... ....

    KLBJ brought me here. Best rock countdown I've heard yet.

  63. A.... C....

  64. J.... B....

    J.... B....

    VERY GOOD!!

  80. R.... ....

    I think this the best song on this album, and its basically a remake..  not impressed with this album,, their early stuff is still the best.  I think they lost their creative song making.  dam it!!  I love this bank too.

    R.... ....

    +Ryan Roehr I found BSC on the third and fourth albums Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea... and Magic mountain and there are tons of songs from those that I love. I've gone back and listened to the first two albums and I dunno they just didn't connect with me.

    R.... ....

    I have listened to every album they've had and I honestly only found a few songs on each album that I didn't like

    R.... ....

    +Mike Blanchard I totally agree

    R.... ....

    +Ryan Roehr Go and Listen to Evil. Its a bonus track. Best song on the album and more like their older stuff.

  81. J.... B....

    nice cover

  82. M.... ....

    Love it! #FEELTHEBERN
