War Lyrics

[Alan Cole; Carlton Barrett]

            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!           /fadeout/
