BOB MARLEY and the WAILERS • War/No More Trouble (LIVE) • 1977



This is an outstanding video and one of my favorite songs... 



War/No More Trouble
BOB MARLEY and the WAILERS

Until the philosophy
Which holds one race superior and another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned
Well, everywhere is war
Is your war

And until there’s no longer first-class and second-class of any nation
Until the color of a mans skin is of no more significance
Than the color of his eyes
I’ve got to say ‘War’, yeah
And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Is your war, hey

But until that day
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
And the rule of international morality, yeah
Will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued
But never attained
Well, everywhere is war
Is your war

War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south, yeah

Yes, you want a war
And the rumors of war
And, until the ignoble and unhappy regime
That holds our brothers in South Africa, yeah
South Africa, yeah
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, yeah
Utterly downstroyed
Well everywhere is
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere

War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south, yeah

Yes, you want a war
And the rumors of war
And until
And until
And ’til all these things have a meaning
’Til man learns
There’ll be always war, now
There’ll be always war

And the 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 more troubles
We don’t need
No more troubles
No more troubles, no more troubles
No more troubles, eh

What we need is love
To guide and protect us on
If your hope looks down from above
Help the weak if you are strong

We don’t no trouble
What we need is love
We don’t need
No more troubles
No more troubles
No more troubles
No more troubles
No more troubles
We don’t need
We don’t need
No more troubles
No more war, no more war, no more war, I say

Speak happiness
Sad enough without your woes
Good morning, speak love
Sad enough without your foes, yeah

We don’t need no troubles
What we need is love
