War / No More Trouble
Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics

Until the philosophy which hold one race superior and another
As long as the belief that one race is superior to another still exists

Inferior
Less worthy and deserving of respect and rights

Is finally
After much time has passed and much work has been done

And permanently
For all time, without the possibility of reversing back

Discredited
Proven false and without merit

And abandoned
Left behind and rejected as unimportant

Well, everywhere is war
Conflict and strife are prevalent across the world

Me say war
I am saying that there is war

And until there's no longer
As long as there still exists

First-class nor second-class citizens of any nation
People are not treated differently based on their social status

Until the colour of a man's skin
As long as people are judged based on their race

Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
As unimportant as the color of someone's eyes are when evaluating them

I've got to say war, yeah
I must assert that conflict continues to exist

And until the basic human rights
As long as fundamental human entitlements

Are equally guaranteed to all
Assured to be present for everyone on the planet

Without regard to race
Regardless of what race a person is

Dis a war, yeah
This still qualifies as a time of war

But until that day
As long as things are still this way

The dream of lasting peace
The idea of a world continuously at peace

World citizenship
Global citizenship, shared by everyone on earth

And the rule of international morality, yeah
And following ethical principles worldwide

Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued
Will be just a temporary and unattainable goal to work towards

But never attained
But never achieved in reality

Well, everywhere is war
Conflict is omnipresent

Me say war
I am saying there is war

War in the east
Fighting in the eastern region

War in the west
Fighting in the western region

War up north
Fighting in the northern region

War down south, yeah
Fighting in the southern region

Dis a war, war
This is a time of war

And the rumours of war
Even the rumors of conflict are prevalent

And until the ignoble and unhappy regime that hold our brothers in
As long as there exist cruel and corrupt governments oppressing our fellow humans

South Africa, yeah
The specific country of South Africa, indeed

Sub-human bondage
Imposing bondage that reduces humans to less than fully human

Have been toppled
Have been overthrown and defeated

Utterly down-stroyed
Destroyed completely and without repair

Well, everywhere is
Everywhere in the world

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
In all places, in every nook and cranny

War in the east
Fighting in the eastern region

War in the west
Fighting in the western region

War up north
Fighting in the northern region

War down south, yeah
Fighting in the southern region

Dis a war, war
This is a time of war

And the rumours of war
Even rumors of conflict are widespread

And until
As long as

And until
As long as

And till all these things have a meaning
Until these things have significance

To man on earth
To the individuals that live on the planet

There'll be always war, now
Conflict will always exist

There'll be always war
There will always be conflicts

And the war in the east
The fighting in the eastern region

War in the west
Fighting in the western region

War up north
Fighting in the northern region

War down south
Fighting in the southern region

Some winnin'
Some are coming out victorious

Some losin'
Some are failing and losing their battles

Some dyin'
Some are losing their lives

Some cryin'
Some are crying and grieving

Some singin'
Some are singing songs of hope and resilience

We don't need
We do not require

No more troulbles
No more difficulties and hardships

We don't need
We do not require

No more troulbles, no more troubles, no more troubles
No more problems and distress, no more struggles, none of it.

No more troulbles, ey!
No more troubles, you know what I mean!

What we need is love
What we actually need is an abundance of love

To guide and protect us on
To show us the way and keep us safe

If you're up, look down from above
If you have it in you to help others, do so from your higher position

After we give you our strong
Once we have given our all and our best effort

We don't need no troubles
We do not require any more hardships and problems

What we need is love (what we need is love, sweet love)
Love is the key thing we need, the most important thing, even

(We don't need)
(We do not require)

(No more troubles) no more troubles, no more troubles, no more troubles
No more difficulties and hardships, none of it

What we need, we don't need
What we need is something we do not need at all

No more troubles, no more war, no more war
No more wars, no more struggles, none of it.

No more war, I say
No more fighting, that's what I say

Speak happiness
Use your voice to spread joy and positivity

Sad enough without your wars
Things are sad and hurtful without war contributing to it

Come on and speak love
Let us all speak of love and its power

Sad enough without your fault, yeah
Things are hard enough without any more blame or trouble

We don't need no troubles
We do not need any more hardships and problems

What we need is love (what we need is love, sweet love)
Love is the key thing we need, the most important thing, even
