Yannick Noah - War / No More Trouble lyrics

rate me

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!

(We don't need) No, we don't need (no more trouble) no more trouble!

(We don't need no more trouble)

Wo! Oh-oh-oh!

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

We don't need no trouble!

(We don't need no more trouble)

Make love and not war! '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. (love)

We don't need no trouble;

What we need is 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!

Seek happiness! (...) Oh, ...!

Come on, you all and speak of love. (...) Oh, yeah!

We don't need no trouble;

What we need is love, now. (What we need is love!)

(We don't need) Oh, we don't need no more trouble!

We don't need, no - we don't need no trouble!

We don't (need) - no, brothers and sisters ... (no more trouble!)

We don't need no trouble; we don't need no trouble!

We don't need no trouble!

What we need is love!

We don't need - we don't need no more - we don't need -

no more trouble - we don't need no more trouble!

Trouble we don't need (we don't need),

(We don't need) Lord, knows! -

we don't need no more war (no more trouble).

No more trouble - we don't need no more - more trouble!
