---------.............. *from 'Positive Vibration' (1976)* [Intro] A#m G#7 (x2) [Verse 1]
A#m            G#7            A#m              G#7
 Until the phi-losophy, which hold one race su-perior,

      A#m    G#7  A#m    G#7
And a-nother;  in-ferior.

   A#m     G#7   A#m         G#7
Is finally,  and permanently,

    A#m      G#7     A#m      G#7
Dis-credited,  and a-bandoned,

              A#m  G#7      A#m  G#7
Everywhere is war,   me say war.
[Verse 2]
     A#m            G#7           A#m
That until there no longer, first class,

                 G#7              A#m    G#7
And second class citizens, of any nation.

A#m                    G#7               A#m             G#7
 Until the colour of a man's skin, is of no more signifi-cance,

         A#m                G#7      A#m  G#7
Than the colour of his eyes;  me say war.
[Verse 3]
     A#m             G#7
That until the basic human rights,

    A#m                   G#7
Are equally guaranteed to all,

        A#m            G#7     A#m  G#7
Without regard to race;  dis a-war.

     A#m            G#7   A#m              G#7
That until that day,  the dream of lasting peace,

A#m            G#7   A#m           G#7         A#m    G#7
 World citizen-ship, rule of inter-national mo-rality,

        A#m                       G#7
Will re-main in but a fleeting il-lusion,

          A#m  G#7            A#m    G#7
To be pur-sued,  but never at-tained,

                  A#m  G#7  A#m  G#7
Now everywhere is war.       War.
[Verse 4]
    A#m          G#7           A#m
And until the ig-noble, and un-happy regimes,

     G#7                     A#m  G#7  A#m        G#7
That hold our brothers in An-gola,  in Mozambique,

      A#m    G#7        A#m     G#7
South Africa,  subhuman bondage,

          A#m     G#7           A#m    G#7
Have been toppled,  utterly des-troyed,

                    A#m  G#7      A#m  G#7
Well, everywhere is war,   me say war.
[Bridge 1]
A#m              G#7  A#m             G#7
 War in the East,     war in the West.

A#m           G#7  A#m            G#7
 War up North,     war down South.

A#m       G#7  A#m            G#7
 War, war,     rumours of war.
[Verse 5]
    A#m            G#7   A#m           G#7
And until that day,  the African conti-nent,

     A#m            G#7  A#m           G#7
Will not know peace,  we Africans will fight.

           A#m       G#7   A#m              G#7
We find it necessary,  and we know we shall win,

   A#m              G#7     A#m     G#7           A#m  G#7
As we are confident, in the victory, of good over evil.
[Coda]
          A#m        G#7         A#m  G#7
Good over evil, yeah!  Good over evil.

          A#m        G#7         A#m  G#7
Good over evil, yeah!  Good over evil.
