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Have been replaced by understanding and permanence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
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
