More good poetry

Bob Marley
War/No More Trouble(LIVE)

Until the philosophy which holds one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war

That until there is 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
I've got to 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

War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
it's your war
and the rumours of war

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
That hold our brothers in
South Africa yeah
South Africa yeah
sub-human bondage
Have been toppled and utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is everywhere is everywhere is war

War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
Here's your War, war, and the rumours of war

And until
and until
until all these things have a meaning
To all of us
There'll be always war now
there'll be always war
War in the east, war in the west
War up north, war down south
Some winning, some losing
Some dying, some crying
Some singing
(We don't need) No, we don't need (no more trouble) No more trouble!
(We don't need no more trouble)

(We don't need) We don't need (no more) trouble!
We don't need no trouble!

(We don't need no more trouble)
'Cause we don't need no trouble
What we need is love (love)
To guide and protect us on (on)
If you hope good down from above (love)
Help the weak if you are strong now (strong)

We don't need no trouble (Need no trouble)
What we need is love (What we need is love sweet love) Oh, no!
We don't need, we don't need, no more trouble!
Lord knows, we don't need no trouble!

(We don't need) We don't need trouble (no more trouble)
No more trouble, no more trouble!
No more war no more war
Speak happiness! (Sad enough without your woes)
Come on, you all, and speak of love (Sad enough without your foes)

We don't need no trouble (We don't need your troubles)
What we need is love now (What we need is love!)
(We don't need)
