Sinad O'Connor — War

[Verse 1] Until the philosophy Which holds one race superior And another inferior Is finally and permanently Discredited and abandoned Everywhere is war [Verse 2] Until there is no longer first class Or second class citizens of any nation That until the color of a man's skin Is of no more significance Than the color of his eyes I've got to say "war" [Verse 3] That until the basic human rights Are equally guaranteed to all Without regard to race Then we say "war" [Verse 4] That until that day the dream of lasting peace World-citizenship and the rule of International morality will remain Just a fleeting illusion to be pursued But never obtained And everywhere is war [Verse 5] War in the east War in the west War up north War down south There'll be war And the rumors of war [Verse 6] That until the ignoble and unhappy regime Which holds our sisters in Africa, yeah Africa, yeah Sub-human bondage has been toppled Utterly destroyed Everywhere is war [Verse 7] 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 'Cause we are confident In the victory Of good over evil Good over evil Good over evil
