Warv2

...WAR... by Bob Marley

*from 'Positive Vibration' (1976)*

Intro:

Verse 1:

Until the phi-losophy, which hold one race su-perior,

And a-nother; in-ferior.

Is finally, and permanently,

Dis-credited, and a-bandoned,

Everywhere is war, me say war.

Verse 2:

That until there no longer, first class,

And second class citizens, of any nation.

Until the colour of a man's skin, is of no more signifi-cance,

Than the colour of his eyes; me say war.

Verse 3:

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 citizen-ship, rule of inter-national mo-rality,

Will re-main in but a fleeting il-lusion,

To be pur-sued, but never at-tained,

Now everywhere is war. War.

Verse 4:

And until the ig-noble, and un-happy regimes,

That hold our brothers in An-gola, in Mozambique,

South Africa, subhuman bondage,

Have been toppled, utterly des-troyed,

Well, everywhere is war, me say war.

Bridge 1:

War in the East, war in the West.

War up North, war down South.

War, war, rumours of war.

Verse 5:

And until that day, the African conti-nent,

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.

Coda:

Good over evil, yeah! Good over evil.

Good over evil, yeah! Good over evil.

Outro:

(Repeat to Fade)
