War Lyrics - Welcome To The Pleasuredome - Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Oh no-there's got to be a better way 

Say it again 

There's got to be a better way-yeah 

What is it good for? (war) 

Man has a sense for the discovery of beauty 

How rich is the world for one who makes you for us to show 

Beauty must have power over man, war 

After the end of the war I want to devote myself 

To my thoughts for five to ten years and to writing them down 

War has caused unrest among the younger generation 

Induction then destruction, who wants to die? 

Wars come and go what remains are only the values of culture 

Then of course there is revolutionary love 

Love of comrades fighting for the people and love of people 

Not an abstract people but people one meets and works with 

When Che Guevara taught of love being 

At the center of revolutionary endeavor, he meant both 

For people like Che or George Jackson or Malcolm X 

Love was the prime mover of their struggle 

That love cost them their lives, love coupled with a man's pride 

Love coupled with a man's pride 

Give it to you on top, now 

War, I despise 'cause 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 

I said, war, good god, now, what is it good for? 

Absolutely, nothing 

Say it again, war, what is it good for? 

Absolutely, nothing, listen to me 

War, it ain't nothing but a heart breaker 

War, friend only to the undertaker, war 

(War, war, war, war) 

War, what is it good for? 

Absolutely nothing 

Say it, war, good god now, what is it good for? 

Absolutely nothing, say it, (war) 

Oh no, there's got to be a better way 

Say it again, there's got to be a better way 

Yeah, what is it good for? 

War, what is it good for?
