War Lyrics - Paula Cole

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
