Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics

Until the philosophy Which hold one race superior
Until the belief that one race is superior to another is refuted and rejected

And another Inferior Is finally And permanently Discredited And abandoned
And the notion that another race is inferior is entirely discredited and abandoned once and for all

Well everywhere is war Me say war.
As a result of these beliefs, there will be conflict and war everywhere

And until there is no longer First class and second class citizens of any nation
As long as any country continues to have a hierarchy of citizens based on social class

Until the color of a man's skin Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes
And until people stop believing that a person's skin color is of more importance than the color of their eyes

I've got to say war.
Then conflict and struggle will remain necessary

And until the basic human rights Are equally guaranteed to all,
As long as certain people are denied basic human rights that others enjoy,

Without regard to race Dis a war.
Then there will be tension and strife

Until that day The dream of lasting peace,
As long as these injustices continue, true and permanent peace will remain elusive

The world citizenship The rule of international morality
A hope for a sense of world community and a system of global ethics

Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, But never attained,
These ideals will remain as a fleeting illusion rather than a reality that can be achieved

Well everywhere is war, war.
And war will continue to be a reality everywhere in the world

War War War War War
Repetition of the concept of war being omnipresent

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes That hold our brothers in South Africa, Namibia, In sub-human bondage Have been toppled, Utterly destroyed,
As long as oppressive governments hold people captive in South Africa, Namibia, and other places in conditions that are below human standard and dignity

Well, everywhere is war War War War in the east, War in the west, War up north, War down south,
Then conflict will dominate every part of the world

This is a war A war A war Rumors of war. Yes them war, them war A rumors of war
War is not just a conflict that is happening currently, but it is a concept that is present as a mere possibility or speculation

'Cause until that day, The African continent Will not know peace,
As long as these issues continue, there will never be lasting peace on the African continent

We Africans will fight, we find it necessary We know we shall win We are confident In the victory Of good over evil Of good over evil Of good over evil
African people will fight as long as necessary for their rights and freedom, and they do so with confidence and hope because what they are fighting for is right

Well, everywhere is war Me say war
Again, the repetition of the phrase that indicates the omnipresence of conflict

We don't need no no no no no No more trouble
The need to do away with issues or worries that bring disruption or conflict

No more troubles children No more troubles Hey!
The hope for a peaceful environment and society, expressed as being for the children

What we need is love (love) To guide and protect us on (on) So if you up, look down from above, (love) Help the weak if you are strong now. (love)
What is needed is the emotion and energy of love, which can provide guidance and protection. Those who are strong should help those who are weak.

We don't need no trouble, What we need is love, (What we need is love, sweet love)
Again, the repetition of the desire to eliminate strife and bring the positive emotions of love into the world

We don't need No no no no no no No more troubles children No more troubles We don't need No no no no no no No more trouble No more war No more war hey
Repetition to emphasize that there is no need for trouble or conflict, but what is needed is love, and that peace is necessary.

Speak happiness! (sad enough without your woes) Oh children Come on, you all and speak of love (sad enough without your fuss) You see
Encouragement to focus on positive emotions such as happiness and love, which are missing currently
