Lyrics

[Verse 1] America #1 is a lie still How many innocent people are killed? Do our soldiers believe in the fascism? No They just couldn't get a job, so they had to go And get ground up in Bush's war machine What the fuck do the polls on TV mean? We won't give our consent to blow up foreign soil No blood for oil [Chorus] War What is it good for? Nothing Absolutely nothing Nothing from nothing leaves nothing You've gotta have something You gotta have peace [Verse 2] January 15th, 1991 The deadline Curious George gave Saddam Hussein To evacuate his troops from Kuwait... Ah, yes, Curious George Bush The same Curious George that vetoed the Civil Rights bill Ironic enough, the birthdate of Dr. Martin Luther King The drum major for peace "War is not the answer." "War is not the answer." "War is not the answer." "War is not the answer." [Verse 3] I don't understand it, it makes my blood boil On foreign soil, trading blood for oil How many heroes will there be from this war And what the hell are we really fighting for? Why in the hell would I serve my time for Sam When Sam don't give a damn! Now, here's an opportunity for peace and unity Cease fire in the Middle East It's time to increase peace [Chorus] War What is it good for? Nothing Absolutely nothing Nothing from nothing leaves nothing You've gotta have something We want peace [Verse 4] The 15th of a new decade Midnight even though I prayed There's a war goin' on across the sea It's not a war for Democracy [Chorus] War What is it good for? Nothing Absolutely nothing Nothing from nothing leaves nothing You've gotta have something You gotta have peace "War is not the answer." "War is not the answer." "War is not the answer." "War is not the answer." "War is not the answer." "War is not the answer." "War is not the answer."
