Bob Marley & the Wailers

Bob Marley & The Wailers were a Jamaican reggae band created by Bob Marley. The band formed when self-taught musician Peter Tosh met Neville Livingston (Bunny Wailer), and Robert Nesta Marley (Bob Marley) in 1963 and taught them how to play guitar, keyboards, and percussion. By late 1963 Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, and Cherry Smith had joined The Wailers. After Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer left the band in 1974, Bob Marley began touring with new band members.

 Struggling with War? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

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 illusion to be pursued,
But never attained 
Now everywhere is war - 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

Of good over evil 
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil 
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil 
Good over evil, yeah!
