## Lyrics
[verse]
They send the young ones marching out the door
Promise them a medal and a little more
But all that's waiting is a heavy strain
Nobody comes back home the same again

[chorus]
Battle, what is it good for
Nothing, that's the honest score
Battle, what does it bring
Only broken families and mourning

[verse]
The generals count the numbers on a page
While mothers count the days in silent rage
They dress it up in flags and drums and pride
But underneath it's just the grief they try to hide

[chorus]
Battle, what is it good for
Nothing, that's the honest score
Battle, what does it bring
Only broken families and mourning

[bridge]
Brass is blasting, sharp and angry loud
Standing here to speak against the crowd
No cause is worth a generation lost
No victory that's worth this kind of cost

[chorus]
Battle, what is it good for
Nothing, that's the honest score
Battle, what does it bring
Only broken families and mourning
