A#m G#7 A#m Until the phi-losophy, which hold one race G#7 superior, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 And a-nother; in-ferior. A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Is finally, and permanently, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Dis-credited, and a-bandoned, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Everywhere is war, me say war. A#m G#7 A#m That until there no longer, first class, G#7 A#m G#7 And second class citizens, of any nation. A#m G#7 A#m Until the colour of a man's skin, is of no more G#7 signifi-cance, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Than the colour of his eyes; me 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 regime 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 Chorus: War in the east War in the west War up north War down south War, war 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 Good over evil, yeah! Good over evil Good over evil, yeah! Good over evil Good over evil, yeah!
