War Lyrics - Africa Unite

(by Bob Marley) 

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!
