I know you don't know

|
Take away everything
|
And make everybody feel high.

|
-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.
|
|
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
|
|
