War And Crime Lyrics - Lucky Dube

Every where in the world 

People are fighting for freedom 

Nobody knows what is right 

Nobody knows what is wrong 

The black man say it' s the white man 

The white man say it' s the black man 

Indians say it' s the coloureds 

Coloureds say it' s everyone 

Your mother didn' t tell you the truth 

Cause my father didn' t tell me the truth 

Nobody knows what is wrong 

And what is right 

How long is this gonna last 

Cause we' ve come so far so fast 

When it started, you and I were not there so 

Why don' t we 

Bury down apartheid 

Fight down war and crime 

Racial discrimination 

Tribal discrimination 

You and I were not there when it started 

We don' t know where it' s coming from 

And where it' s going 

So why don' t we 

I' m not saying this 

Because I' m a coward 

But I' m thinking of the lives 

That we lose everytime we fight 

Killing innocent people 

Women and children yeah 

Who doesn' t know about the good(government)not good 

Who doesn' t know about the wars 

Your mother didn' t tell you the truth 

Cause my father did not tell me the truth 

Yeah 

Black man say it' s the white man 

White man say it' s the black man 

Indians say it' s the coloureds 

Coloureds say it' s everyone 

When it started we were not there 

We know where we come from 

But we don' t know where we' re going 

So why don' t we 

Bury down apartheid 

Fight down war and crime 

Racial discrimination 

Tribal discrimination
