[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."
