War Songtext

von Bob Marley & The Wailers

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "War" von Bob Marley & The Wailers hat eine starke politische Botschaft und handelt von der Notwendigkeit, ...

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 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.
War in the east
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 -
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!
