WAR! WHAT'S IS GOOD FOR?

Dra: "You want a war, Amazon? You've got one."

Song [By X, G, and Jox]:
"War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!
Uh-huh, yeah. War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'! "
"Listen to me, now.
War is a thing that I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives.
War means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes
When their young go out to fight and lose their lives.

"War! Good God, y'all-- what is good for?

Absolutely nothin'! Say it again, yeah.
War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!
"War! It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker!
War! Free only to the undertaker!
Amo: "War is the enemy of all mankind.
The thought of war just blows my mind.
War handed down from generation to generation--

Induction and destruction-- who wants to die?!

"War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!

Say it again, yeah.

War! What is it good for? Nothin'!

Say it again! War!

[Dra: Ah-h-h-h-h-h!]

What is it good for? Nothin'!
Say it again! War!
What is it good for?"

Dra: "Absolutely-- nothing
