Until the philosophy,
|
Which holds one race superior
|
And another inferior,
|
Is finally and permanently
|
Discredited and abandoned,
|
Everywhere is war.
|
|
Until there is no longer first class
|
Or second class citizens of any nation.
|
Until the color of a man's skin,
|
Is of no more significance then
|
The color of his eyes,
|
I've got to say "war".
|
|
That until the basic human rights,
|
Are equally guaranteed to all,
|
Without regard to race,
|
I say "war"
|
|
Until that day the dream of lasting peace,
|
World-citizenship and the rule of
|
International morality will remain
|
Just a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
|
But never obtained.
|
And everywhere is war.
|
|
Until the ignoble and unhappy regime
|
Which holds all of us through,
|
Child-abuse, yeah, child-abuse yeah,
|
Sub-human bondage has been toppled,
|
Utterly destroyed,
|
Everywhere is war.
|
|
War in the east,
|
War in the west,
|
War up north,
|
War down south,
|
There is war,
|
And the rumors of war.
|
|
Until that day,
|
There is no continent,
|
Which will know peace.
|
|
Children, children.
|
|
Fight!
|
|
We find it necessary.
|
We know we will win.
|
We have confidence in the victory
|
Of good over evil
|
|
Fight the real enemy!
|
