(Verse 1)
Yo, the world's in conflict, tensions runnin' high
Flags wavin', voices callin' from the sky
Politicians playin' games, soldiers on the line
Another generation's future, caught in the crossfire, a tragic sign
From ancient battlefields to modern city streets
The sound of gunfire echoes, a rhythm of defeat
Families torn apart, lives shattered and lost
The price of war is heavy, whatever the cost
(Chorus)
War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothin'
Blood on the hands, the seeds of hatred are sown
We gotta find a better way, a path to peace we crave
Before we dig ourselves deeper into an early grave
(Verse 2)
The media's spinnin' tales, propaganda's rife
Paintin' pictures of heroes, and demonizing life
Young men and women, shipped off to foreign lands
Fightin' for a cause they barely understand
They train 'em up, they tell 'em who to hate
But when the bullets fly, it's sealed by cruel fate
The trauma lingers long, the scars you cannot see
Haunted by the memories of the brutality
(Chorus)
War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothin'
Blood on the hands, the seeds of hatred are sown
We gotta find a better way, a path to peace we crave
Before we dig ourselves deeper into an early grave
(Bridge)
The leaders sit in comfort, pushin' pawns across the board
While ordinary people suffer, their voices are ignored
They talk about strategy, about power and control
But they never see the faces, the stories that unfold
The mothers cryin' for their sons, the fathers filled with dread
The children growin' up in fear, their innocence is dead
(Verse 3)
We gotta rise above the hate, break the cycle of pain
Demand a better future, where peace will truly reign
Educate the youth, teach 'em empathy and love
Show 'em there's a different way, a message from above
Let's build bridges instead of walls, find common ground to share
Respect each other's differences, and show that we care
For the planet and its people, for all that we hold dear
Let's choose peace over violence, and conquer all our fear
(Chorus)
War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothin'
Blood on the hands, the seeds of hatred are sown
We gotta find a better way, a path to peace we crave
Before we dig ourselves deeper into an early grave
(Outro)
Peace, peace, let the message ring
Let the voices of compassion sing
No more war, no more fight
Let's build a world where love shines bright.
Word.
