What Is It Good For

This came up on the Daily Show tonight. Felt like looking up the lyrics, and then sharin them with y'all:

War! - huh- yeah-
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
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…

Ohhh… War! I despise
Because it means destruction’
Of innocent lives

War means tears
to thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
and lose their lives

I said - War! Huh – Good God y’all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again

War! Whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me…

War! It ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker
War! Friend only to the undertaker
War! It’s an enemy to all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind

War has caused unrest in the younger generation
Induction then destruction-
Who wants to die?

Ohhh… War – Good God Y’all
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it, Say it, Say it

War! Uh-huh – Yeah - Huh!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me…

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

War! Whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me…

War! It ain’t nothing but a heartbreaker
War! Friend only to the undertaker
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

War! Huh – Good God y’all
What is it good for?
You tell me
Say it, Say it, Say it

War! Huh – Good God y’all
What is it good for?
Stand up and shout it.
Nothing!

So true.

So in other news, now that I've wasted a good chunk of space, here's the highlight of my day. A girl friend of mine got into a fight with some other girl, over some stupid thing (*cough*Mike*cough*), and I got dragged into it. I wish I'd saved the chat, because it was quite entertaining. The best part was when the offending girl brought her new boyfriend in with her, and he threatened to use his gang (first it was the mob, then it was just A mob, the generic pitchforks and torches thing I guess?) before settling on an inner city gang.

So... This guy's solution to dealing with a girl that upset his girlfriend is to go get a gang of thugs to beat her up? Where in does this make sense? Also the guy (19) decided I sounded like a 13 year old dork, despite the fact that I was the only one in the room making intelligent arguments, plus the oldest. I'm not 13. A dork, maybe. I wear that tag with pride.
