Below are the words to "WAR" , one of "many" ANTI VIETNAM WAR songs
of "my generation".
Although the message may seem quite clear to "some",
I wonder if Edwin Starr could have sung this, without repression, oppression, or death
in

HANOI - REPUBLIC of NORTH VIETNAM,
LAOS, or CAMBODIA


as an antiwar protestor, protesting the COMMIES and the NORTH VIETNAMESE
involvement in "their fight" for their "communist" way of life ?


Track Title: War

(Lyrics:)

War... (huh!) Yeah!
What is it good for?
Absolutely... (nothin'!) Uh huh uh hu-uh.

War... (huh!) Yeah!
What is it good for?
Absolutely... (nothin'!) Say it again y'all.

War... (huh!) Look out!
What is it good for?
Absolutely... (nothin'!) Listen to me.


Ahhh war...
I despise, cause it means destruction of innocent life.
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... (nothin'!) Say it again.

War... (huh!) Whoa whoa whoa Lord.
What is it good for?
Absolutely... (nothin'!) Listen to me.

War...
It ain't nothin' but a heart breaker.
War...
Friend only, to the undertaker.

Ahhh 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?

Ahhh war... (huh!) Good God y'all.

What is it good for?
Absolutely... (nothin'!) Say it, say it, say it.
War... (huh!) Uh huh yeah, huh!
What is it good for?
Absolutely... (nothin'!) Listen to me.

War...
It ain't nothin' but a heart breaker.
War...
Its got one friend, that's the undertaker.

Ahhh war...
has shattered, many a young man's dreams.
Made him disabled, bitter and mean.
Life is but too short and precious,
it's been fighting wars each day.
War can't give life, it can only take it away.

Ahhh war... (huh!) Good God y'all.
What is it good for?
Absolutely... (nothin'!) Say it again.

War... (huh!) Whoa whoa whoa Lord.
What is it good for?
Absolutely... (nothin'!) Listen to me.

War...
It ain't nothin' but a heart breaker.
War...
Friend only, to the undertaker.

wooo

Peace, love and understanding, tell me
Is there no place for them today?
They say we must fight, to keep our freedom,

but Lord knows there's got to be a better way.

Ahhh war... (huh!) Good God y'all.
What is it good for?
You tell 'em. (nothin'!) Say it, say it, say it, say it.

War... (huh!) Good God now, huh!
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it. (nothin'!)... [FADE OUT]




That's what WE were FIGHTING for, MR. -

"TRUE" FREEDOM for ALL !!!




"FREEDOM"

It's worth the "HELL" of WAR


FREEDOM from BIG & INTRUSIVE GOVERNMENT,
FREEDOM from TAXES,
FREEDOM of CHOICE, FREEDOM of SPEECH,
FREEDOM of THOUGHT, FREEDOM of EXPRESSION,
FREEDOM of RELIGION,
FREEDOM from OPPRESSION,

The Right to KEEP and BEAR ARMS
to "repress" the oppressors,
whomever they shall be !!!


"Don't TREAD on ME"





That's TRUE FREEDOM

"Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy today
forget in time that men have died to win them."

.... President Franklin D. Roosevelt


Yes, TRUE FREEDOM is worth DYING for !!!





The fight for
"TRUE" FREEDOM
continues today, people are still
DYING for their FREEDOM !!!

Are "YOU"
willing to DIE for
"YOUR"
TRUE FREEDOM ?

or

Like "so many" did in the anti - VIETNAM - war movement

let "someone else" DIE for that FREEDOM !!!





I said, WAR ... (huh!) Good God y'all.
What is it good for?


"TRUE FREEDOM"

... Say it again.







"There will be WARS and RUMORS of WARS" .... the BIBLE
