War

Edwin Starr

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 mother’s 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, just say it again
War (whoa), huh (oh Lord)
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing, listen to me
It ain’t nothing but a heart-breaker
(War) Friend only to The Undertaker
Oh, war it’s an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die? Oh
War, huh (good God y’all) [...]

There’s a star spangled banner waving somewhere 

Elton Britt

There’s a star spangled banner waving
somewhere
in a distant land so many miles away
Only Uncle sam’s great hero’s get to go there
where I wish that I could live someday.

I see Lincoln, Custer, Washington and Perry,
Nathan Hale and Collin Kelly too,
There’s a star spangled banner waving
somewhere
Waving ov'er the land of hero’s brave and true.

in this war with it’s mad schemes and distructions,
of our counrty fair and our sweet liberty
by the mad dictators, leaders of corruption,
can’t the U.S. use a Mountain boy like me.

God gave me the right to be a free American,
for that precious right I’d gladly die,
there’s a star spangled banner waving somewhere
