War / No More Trouble
Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior and another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned
Well, everywhere is war
Me say war

And until there's no longer
First-class nor 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
I've got to say war, yeah

And until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Dis a war, yeah

But until that day
The dream of lasting peace
World citizenship
And the rule of international morality, yeah
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued
But never attained
Well, everywhere is war
Me say war

Overall Meaning

Bob Marley & The Wailers's song War / No More Trouble was released in 1976 and is a powerful call for an end to racism, injustice and apartheid. The song's lyrics express Marley's desire for an end to all forms of discrimination, inequality and war. The song starts by emphasizing the need for the philosophy of one race being superior and another inferior to be discredited and abandoned, suggesting that this philosophy leads to war. Until there is no discrimination of any kind everywhere, there will be war. Marley then goes on to call for an end to apartheid in South Africa, highlighting the sub-human bondage that our brothers have been subjected to. The lyrics emphasize that until we achieve world citizenship, lasting peace and international morality, there will always be war, and people will continue to suffer and die.


The song's chorus calls for an end to all troubles and wars, suggesting that what we really need is love to guide and protect us. The song's message is that love is the only way to overcome hatred and division, and that we need to work together to create a world where everyone is equal and all human rights are respected. The song speaks to the need for unity and love as the only means to overcome the systemic injustices that exist throughout the world.
