Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war
Me say war
[Verse 2]
That until there is 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
[Verse 3]
That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Dis a war
[Verse 4]
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued
But never attained
Now everywhere is war, war
[Verse 5]
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
[Bridge]
War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south
War, war
[Verse 6]
Rumors of 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
[Outro]
Good over evil, yeah
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah
Good over evil
