[Henry Rollins]
I wonder what it would be like
To sail on the ocean
Of the bitter tears of those who lost their loved ones to stranger (C'mon, C'mon, C'mon)
How many stadiums could you fill with all the people killed in war
Now you look me in the eye and tell me what is good for
Absolutely, nothin', nothin', nothin'...
[Layzie]
We be the mighty mighty warriors [warriors]
On the rise [on the rise]
Thug niggas to my battle cries
Warriors [warriors] on the rise [on the rise]
[Time to die.] Thug niggas [Time to die.]
You better be ready for war. It's almost herе--1999
Could it be the endin', nеw millenium?
Sendin' them soldiers out to die, then they ride for the cause
Screamin' (censored) we muggin', givin' no lovin' to these fake-ass laws
Mo Thuggin'. If you need to be prepared
Pump your strap up in the air
Let em' all loose if you ain't scared
Shoot 'em up, if ya don't care. Yeah!
And I go to war for two thangs: challenge me
I want my motherfuckin' G's, my motherfuckin' family
Understand me: I ain't tryin' to tell you war ain't the lick
But in the streets, you need your heat
Or get your wig split
Strategize, mental mind, and timin' it perfect on the attack
Throw distraction in the front
Come with the dumpin' from the back. Yeah!
[Henry Rollins]
War, war, war, war, war...
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin
Say it again!
War, war, war, war, war...
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin
One, two, three, four...
Ride, ride, ride, ride
We're ready to pull out and ride, ride, ride, ride...
Ready . . . You're dead
[Flesh]
I'm comin' to test you niggas' fate
See how many of y'all are prepared for Armageddon
Should it be Judgement Day, still it's a big mistake
How many have been face to face with death before?
Tell me, how does it feel? Real nervous?
'Cause everybody's ready to kill if it's my will
Safe outta my battle
Quit lookin' or I might have to smoke you
When I roast you with this beam
Focus you through my scope, mo murdered
Mighty, mighty warriors
Some of the mighty, mighty trues still on the rise
If you wanna test, you die
Then, I might make the news
We stompin' in steel-toed boots and suited up in fatigues
Killin' a few (censored), army throw up the white flag and retreat
So many soldiers, so many stories of war
But what is it good for?
Nobody knows, and what if the world is over in two triple zero?
[Henry Rollins]
War, war, war, war, war...
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin
Say it again!
War, war, war, war, war...
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin
[Henry Rollins]
Quiet, past midnight, no cars
Just me, and my friend walkin'
The man put his gun on my head (Good God)
The man put his gun on my head (Good God)
The man put his gun on my head
He said
"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill ya!"
I thought it was a dream, but I was wrong
The gun went "Bang"!
The gun went "Bang"!
The gun went "Bang"!
The gun went "Bang"!
[Edwin Starr]
War I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
I said
[Henry Rollins]
War, war, war, war, war... (Hey, Good God y'all)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin'
Say it again!
War, war, war, war, war...
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin'
[Wish]
If thangs don't change, I think we all gon' die
Who's to say they wrong or right?
You pushin' the button, not I, but we die
That's why I'm gatherin' up my soldiers [soldiers]
Mo Thug, mine are prepared for war
Because it's over [over]
Red light, red light, red light, ride or die
It's gon' be casualties. So be ready to ride
And say it again: there's gon' be casualties
So be ready to ride. And I got your back [back, back, back]
If it goes like that [that, that, that]
Mo Thug ready to ride, if it goes like that
And we all get papped, papped, papped. Yeah, yeah
War, war, war, war, war...
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin'
[Edwin Starr & Henry Rollins]
War, It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker (War, war, war, war, war...)
War, Friend only to the undertaker, awwww (What is it good for? Absolutely nothin')
War is the enemy of all mankind (War, war, war, war, war...)
The thought of war blows my mind (What is it good for? Absolutely nothin')
War has caused unrest, within the younger generation (War, war, war, war, war...)
Induction then destruction (What is it good for? Absolutely nothin')
Who wants to die?
Awwww!
[Outro]
War, war, war, war, war...
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothin' say it, say it, say it
War, huh
Oh-ohh yeah, huh
