(Capo 1st fret)
    Am G (x2)
            Am               G
            Until the philosophy
            Which hold one race superior
            And another
            Inferior
            Is finally
            And permanently
            Discredited
            And abandoned
            Everywhere is war
            Me say war

            That until there are no longer
            First class and 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
            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 regimes
            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

                              Am                              G
                              War in the East
                              Am                       G
                              War in the West
                              War up North
                              War down South
                              War - war
                              Rumours 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
           (War)
           (War)
           (War)...
