| Until the philosophy which hold one race superior |
| And another |
| Inferior |
| Is finally |
| And permanently |
| Discredited |
| And abandoned - |
| Everywhere is war - |
| Me I say war. |
| |
| 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 significance than the colour of his eyes - |
| Me I 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 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. |
| |
| 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 I say war. |
| |
| War in the east, |
| War in the west, |
| War up north, |
| War down south - |
| War - war - |
| Rumours 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 - |
| Good over evil, yeah! |
| Good over evil - |
| Good over evil, yeah! |
| Good over evil - |
| Good over evil, yeah! /fadeout/ |
