War Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Until the philosophy, which holds one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited and abandoned
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's war in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south
And it's war in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south
[Chorus]
Everywhere is war
It's a war
Oh, everywhere is war
It's a war
[Verse 2]
And until there's no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
It's on
And until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance
Than the color of his eyes
We say war
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's war in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south
And it's war in the east
War in the west
War up north
And war down south
Everywhere is-
Oh, everywhere is war
[Chorus]
(It's war!)
It's a war
(It's war!)
Oh, everywhere is war
(It's war!)
It's a war
Oh, everywhere is war
[Bridge]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
(Everywhere is)
(Everywhere is)
(Everywhere is)
(Everywhere is)
(Everywhere is)
(Everywhere is)
Everywhere is war
[Outro]
Everywhere is war

War was produced by Boonn.
This song was originally made by Bob Marley, and isn't this just a recreation?
This is an electronic-inspired cover of the original song by Bob Marley. Taking into account the cover of the single, it’s likely that Grandson is intentionally making a statement about how the state of racism still persists, even 40 years later.
