War / No More Trouble - Playing for Change

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior

And another

Inferior

Is finally

And permanently

Discredited

And abandoned —

Everywhere is war —

Me say war

That until there 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, yeah!

Good over evil —

Good over evil, yeah!

Good over evil —

Good over evil, yeah!
