Lyrics for War - Alternate Mix

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 are no longer first class And second class citizens of any nation Until the color of a man's skin Is of no more significance than the color 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 dreams of lasting peace, world citizenship And the rule of international morality Will remain in but a fleeting illusion To be pursued, but never attained Well, 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 a 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 Evil, yeah, good over (war) War! Until bigotry and prejudice, malicious inhuman self interests Have been replaced by understanding and permanence And goodwill yeah, war Until all Africans stand and speak as free beings Equal in the eyes of the almighty War Everywhere is war
