1. War I despise,
`cause it means destruction of innocent lives,
women in tears for thousands of mothers`
lives,
when their son`s are gonna fight and lose
their lives. + CHORUS
Em
2. War ain`t nothing
but a heartbreaker,
friend only to the undertaker.
War is an enemy to all mankind,
the thought of war blows round them.
War has caused unrest within the younger
generation,
induction and destruction, who wants to die
? +
CHORUS
Em
3. War ain`t nothing
but a heartbreaker,
got one friend, that`s the undertaker.
War has shattered many young man`s dreams,
made him desert all, you and me.
Life is too precious, you can make use of
it,
war can`t give life, it can only take it
away. + CHORUS
Em
4. War ain` t nothing
but a heartbreaker,
friend only to the undertaker.
Please, woman understand and tell me,
is there no place for the human race?
They say we must fight to keep our freedom,
the Lord knows there`s gotta be a better
way.
+ CHORUS (rep. and fade)
(Edwin Starr)
