You may recall these words written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong in the song "War." I feel the need to repeat them this morning. I can almost hear the voice of Edwin Starr (who recorded this back when I was a kid).
War, huh, yeahWhat is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, uh-huh, uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again, y'all
War, huh, good god
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
Oh war, I despise
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives
War means tears to thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives
I said, war, huh, good god, y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, say it again
-Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong
