Intro: A#m G#7 (x2)
Verse 1:
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
Until the phi-losophy, which hold one race su-perior,
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.
Verse 2:
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 G#7
Until the colour of a man's skin, is of no more signifi-cance,
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
Than the colour of his eyes; me say war.
Verse 3:
A#m G#7
That until the basic human rights,
A#m G#7
Are equally guaranteed to all,
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
Without regard to race; dis a-war.
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
That until that day, the dream of lasting peace,
A#m G#7 A#m G#7 A#m G#7
World citizen-ship, rule of inter-national mo-rality,
A#m G#7
Will re-main in but a fleeting il-lusion,
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
To be pur-sued, but never at-tained,
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
Now everywhere is war. War.
Verse 4:
A#m G#7 A#m
And until the ig-noble, and un-happy regimes,
G#7 A#m G#7 A#m G#7
That hold our brothers in An-gola, in Mozambique,
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
South Africa, subhuman bondage,
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
Have been toppled, utterly des-troyed,
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
Well, everywhere is war, me say war.
Bridge 1:
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
War in the East, war in the West.
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
War up North, war down South.
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
War, war, rumours of war.
Verse 5:
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
And until that day, the African conti-nent,
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
Will not know peace, we Africans will fight.
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
We find it necessary, and we know we shall win,
A#m G#7 A#m G#7 A#m G#7
As we are confident, in the victory, of good over evil.
Coda:
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
Good over evil, yeah! Good over evil.
A#m G#7 A#m G#7
Good over evil, yeah! Good over evil.
