War No More

 

War no more now

(Eh)

War we don’t need

(in Africa)

War no more now

(everywhere in this world)

War we don’t need

(Check it out)

 

Africa today

Turning to the West for help

But remember

Africans next door are not

And never were the enemy within

We need to know

The kind of help we really need

For gun runners

Whether from the West, the East,

Or South are really the enemies

Of the people of the land

For they are merchants of death

Therefore the envoys of Satan

Serving not the interests

of their own countries,

Least of all the interest of Africa

or its people

 

(Say)

War no more now

(no more war, no more war, NO)

War we don’t need

(in this world of God)

War no more now

(creation)

War we don’t need

(yeah)

 

Africa!

The world without has a lot

to contribute

But Africa must know what to ask for

And what to turn away

When I say Africa,

I mean you, I mean me

I mean her, I mean him

When you buy a machine gun,

You intend death onto your brother,

Father, mother, sister and neighbor

That ain’t God’s way

In a war that only the merchants of guns win

And Africa continued to loose her children

(I’ve got to say)

 

War no more now

(no more war)

War we don’t need

(war mongers out of Africa

I beg of you,

Save the lives of the children)

They say history repeats itself

I say man fails to learn

Remember the slave trade

One tribe would capture the other

Who won?

Just the slave traders, oh lord

(now today)

One tribe killing the others

who wins?

Gun makers, gun traders win

Africa will never win a thing

No more than the death of her children

(I beg of you now)

War no more now

(no more war)

War we don’t need

(we don’t need no war,

we don’t need no war)

War no more now

War we don’t need
