War by Bob Marley

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 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 (1)________________ to be pursued,
But never (2)________________ -
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.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south -
War - war -
Rumours of war.
And (3)__________ that day,
The (4)______________ continent
Will not know peace,
We Africans will fight - we find it (5)__________________ -
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory

Of good over (6)________ -
Good (7)________ evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
