War<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
\nAnd another
\nInferior
\nIs finally
\nAnd permanently
\nDiscredited
\nAnd abandoned –
\nEverywhere is war –
\nMe say war.<\/p>\n

That until there no longer
\nFirst class and second class citizens of any nation
\nUntil the colour of a man’s skin
\nIs of no more significance than the colour of his eyes –
\nMe say war.<\/p>\n

That until the basic human rights
\nAre equally guaranteed to all,
\nWithout regard to race –
\nDis a war.<\/p>\n

That until that day
\nThe dream of lasting peace,
\nWorld citizenship
\nRule of international morality
\nWill remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
\nBut never attained –
\nNow everywhere is war – war.<\/p>\n

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
\nthat hold our brothers in Angola,
\nIn Mozambique,
\nSouth Africa
\nSub-human bondage
\nHave been toppled,
\nUtterly destroyed –
\nWell, everywhere is war –
\nMe say war.<\/p>\n

War in the east,
\nWar in the west,
\nWar up north,
\nWar down south –
\nWar – war –
\nRumours of war.
\nAnd until that day,
\nThe African continent
\nWill not know peace,
\nWe Africans will fight – we find it necessary –
\nAnd we know we shall win
\nAs we are confident
\nIn the victory<\/p>\n

Of good over evil –
\nGood over evil, yeah!<\/p>\n
