War Lyrics by Ranford Williams

0

[Verse 1]
They take away our language and
Teach us their English
They take away our culture and
Taught us to hate one another
But this time they gone too far
[Chorus]
I say, it's war
Down in Africa
I say, it's war
Down in Africa
[Verse 2]
They take away the silver an' the gold
Also the diamonds an' pearl
They take the animals too
They put them inside a zoo
But this time they gone too far
[Chorus]
I say, it's war
Down in Africa
I say, it's war
Down in Africa
[Verse 3]
When you're in a [?]
When you're in your own [?]
But this time they gone too far
[Chorus]
War
Down in Africa
I say, it's war
Down in Africa
[Verse 4]
There can't be no peace 'til all the lands are free (War)
There can't be no peace 'til all the land are free (War)
There can't be no peace 'til all the lands are free
Free-free-free from Babylon
[Chorus]
I said, war
Down in Africa
I said, it's war
Down in Africa
[Outro]
My brothers, my sisters, we've got to unite
United we stand, divided we shall fall
War down in Africa, war down in Africa
