(War) h'uh
Yeah!
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin) uh-huh, uh-huh
(War) h'uh
Yeah!
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin')
Say it again, y'all
(War) h'uh (h'uh) look out!
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin')
Listen to me
Ooh 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 (h'uh)
Good God, y'all!
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin') 'gin
Say it, again
(War) whoa (h'uh) whoa-whoa, Lord
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin')
Listen to me!
(War)
It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker!
(War)
Friend only to the undertaker
Ooh, war
Is 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?
Ooh war, Good God (h'uh) y'all!
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin')
Say it, say it, say it
(War)
Woah-h'uh (h'uh) yeah uhEdwin Starr - War - http://motolyrics.com/edwin-starr/war-lyrics-serbian-translation.html
(What is it good for?)
(Absolutely) nothin'
Listen to me
(War)
It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
(War)
It's got one thing and that's the undertaker
Ooh, war
Has shattered many a-young man's dreams
Made him disabled, bitter, and mean
And life is much too short and precious
To spend fighting wars each day
War can't give life
It can only take it away
Oh, war!
(H'uh) Good God, y'all
(What is it good for?)
Absolutely (nothin')
Say it, again
(War)
Whoa (h'uh) whoa-whoa, Lord
(What is it good for?)
A-absolutely (nothin')
Listen to me!
(War)
It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
(War)
Friend only to the undertaker
Woo!
Peace, love and understanding tell me
Is there no place for anything else?
They say we must fight
To keep our freedoms
But Lord, knows there's got to be
A better way
Oooh
(War)
God, y'all! (uh)
(What is it good for?)
You tell 'em! (h'uh)
Say it, say it, say it
(War)
Good God (h'uh) now, h'uh
FADES-
(What is it good for?)
Stand up and shout it
(Nothin'!)
(War)
It ain't nothin' but a heartbreaker
Ooh, war.

Edwin Starr - Rat (Čemu je donelo dobro?) (Serbian translation)
Rat, uh, gospode
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Uh-huh
Rat, uh, gospode
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Reci to ponovo, da!
Rat, uh, blagi bože
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Slušaj me
Uh, rat, prezirem
Jer ona prestavlja uništenje
Nevinih života
Rat znači suze
Iz hiljadama majčinskih očiju
Dok njihovi sinovi se bore
I gube svoje živote
Rekoh, rat, uh
Blagi Bože, joj
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Reci to ponovo
Rat, uh, gospode
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Slušaj me
Rat, nije mala stvar
Ali lomi srca
Rat je prijatelj jedino pogrebnim preduzećima
Oh, rat
Neprijatelj je celog čovečanstva
Jedina svrha rata je da me izludi
Rat izaziva nemire
U mladim generacijama
Početak velikog uništenja
Ko želi da umre
Aaaaa, rat, uh
Blagi Bože, daa
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Reci to, reci to, reci to
Rat, uh, gospode
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Slušaj me
Rat, uh, gospodeEdwin Starr - War - http://motolyrics.com/edwin-starr/war-lyrics-serbian-translation.html
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Uuuh, uuuh
Rat, uh, gospode
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Reci to ponovo
Rat, uh, gospode
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Slušaj me
Rat, nije mala stvar ali lomi srca
Rat ima samo jednog prijatelja
A to je pogrebno preduzeće
Oh, rat razbija
Mnogo mladih snova
Onesposobuje ih, čini gorkim i zlim
Život je kratak i dragocen
Da bi ga potrošili u ratu ovih dana
Rat ne daje život
Ona može jedino da ga uzme
Ooooh, Rat, uh,
Blagi Bože
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Reci to ponovo
Rat, uh, gospode
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Slušaj me
Rat, nije mala stvar ali lomi srca
Rat je prijatelj jedino sa pogrebnim preduzećem
Mir, ljubav i razumevanje
Reci mi, da li postoji mesto za njih danas
Govore mi da moramo se boriti kako bi očuvali slobodu
Ali Gospod zna da se to postiže boljim putem
Ooooh, Rat, uh,
Blagi Bože
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ama baš ničemu
Reci to, reci to, reci to opet
Rat, uh,
Gospode mili
Čemu je donelo dobro?
Ustani i reci to glasno
NIČEMU!!!
Ama baš ničemu
