WAR / NO MORE TROUBLE Songtext
von Yannick Noah

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 -
There's 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

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

Until that day, African continent
Will not know peace
We Africans will fight, we find it necessary
We know we shall win
We are confident in the victory


Of good over evil
Of good over evil
Good over evil
Good over evil

Some are winning (war in the east)
Some are losing (war in the west)
Some are crying (war up north)
Some are dying (war down south)

Some are winning (war in the east)
Some are losing (war in the west)
Some are crying (war up north)
Some are dying (war down south)

We don′t need (rumours of war, war, war)
No more trouble (rumours of war, war, war)
We don't need (rumours of war, war, war)
No more trouble (rumours of war, war, war)
No more trouble
(Rumours of war, war, war)
