War (Hide Yourself) Frankie Goes to Hollywood

The logic of war seems to be that if the belligerent can fight, he will fight
That leader’s will not surrender until surrender is academic
How is a national leader to explain the sacrifice of so much for nothing?
Well, relax, I can explain…
…I don’t wanna die

War
(What is it good for)
Absolutely
(Nothing)
Say it again
(War)
(What is it good for)
Absolutely
(Nothing)

(War)
I despise ‘cos 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
(What is it good for)
Absolutely
(Nothing)
Say it again
(War)
Whoa Lord
(What is it good for)
Absolutely
(Nothing)
