Ben Harper – War lyrics
( Bob Marley Cover )

Until the philosophy which holds one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war
War - War - Oh...

Until there is no longer first class
And second class citizens of any nation
I got to say War
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
I got to say War

That until the basic human rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
I got to say War

And until that day of the dream of lasting peace
And world citizenship
And rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion
To be pursued, but never attained
Now everywhere is War
War - War... Oh...

Oh - Oh no more
War in the east and, war in the west
War up north, war down south
And war down south
War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
Oh War - Oh war... No more war...

Oh - we got to use
We got to - We got to...

Of good over evil
Oh we know we shall win
We are confident in good over evil

You got to use your own....
