Leaving them homeless? Unforgivable.
The veterans' reward for their sacrifice? Absolutely nothing.
And in that, Starr,Whitfield and Strong were right.
War! It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War! It's got one friend, that's the undertaker
War has shattered many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled bitter and mean
Life is much to precious to spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life, it can only take it away
War! Huh Good God y'all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again.
And for the sake of the veteran, never stop saying it.
