Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned
Oh, everywhere is war
Say war
[Verse 2]
Come is his war
Children are falling, Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
Until there are no longer first class
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
Everywhere is war
War
Everywhere is war
[Verse 4]
Killing our brother
War
Destroying the country
War
For nothing
War
For nothing
[Verse 5]
They don't take care of a another brother
We don't need no more war
[Verse 6]
Some winning, some losing
Some dying, some crying, some singing
No more trouble
We don't need no more trouble
No more trouble
We don't need no more trouble
[Verse 7]
We don't need no more trouble, trouble
We don't need no more trouble
[Verse 8]
What we need is love
To guide and protect us on
If you hope good down from above
Help and wait to get from, yeah
[Verse 9]
Ooh, you got to stop the war
Mhmm
We don't need no more trouble
We don't need no more trouble
Written by: Allan Cole, Bob Marley, Carlton “Carly” Barrett, Rudy Ratzinger
