Song | War/No More Trouble |

Album | Playing For Change Songs Around The World |
Until the philosophy which holds one race | |
Superior and another inferior | |
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned | |
Everywhere is war, me say war | |
That until there is no longer first class | |
And second class citizens of any nation | |
Until the colour of a man's skin | |
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes | |
Me say war | |
That until the basic human rights are equally | |
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race | |
Dis a war | |
That until that day | |
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship | |
Rule of international morality | |
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion | |
To be pursued, but never attained | |
Now everywhere is war, war | |
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes | |
That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique, | |
South Africa sub-human bondage | |
Have been toppled, utterly destroyed | |
Well, everywhere is war, me say war | |
War in the east, war in the west | |
War up north, war down south | |
War, war, rumours of war | |
And until that day, the African continent | |
Will not know peace, we Africans will fight | |
We find it necessary and we know we shall win | |
As we are confident in the victory | |
Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil | |
Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil |
Until the philosophy which holds one race | |
Superior and another inferior | |
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned | |
Everywhere is war, me say war | |
That until there is no longer first class | |
And second class citizens of any nation | |
Until the colour of a man' s skin | |
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes | |
Me say war | |
That until the basic human rights are equally | |
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race | |
Dis a war | |
That until that day | |
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship | |
Rule of international morality | |
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion | |
To be pursued, but never attained | |
Now everywhere is war, war | |
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes | |
That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique, | |
South Africa subhuman bondage | |
Have been toppled, utterly destroyed | |
Well, everywhere is war, me say war | |
War in the east, war in the west | |
War up north, war down south | |
War, war, rumours of war | |
And until that day, the African continent | |
Will not know peace, we Africans will fight | |
We find it necessary and we know we shall win | |
As we are confident in the victory | |
Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil | |
Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil |
