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 color of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the color 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

War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
War, war, rumours of 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

War, war, war

Until the philosophy which hold one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently
Discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war
