War (No More Trouble)

by Nappy G

about

This is a remake of a classic medley that Bob Marley and the Wailers made famous in their concerts, combining 2 original Wailers songs. Like many, I'm saddened by all the ongoing Wars & military conflicts worldwide, & tired of feeling drained & depressed from it. This steals our willpower to keep going, & doesn't help those being attacked. So I remembered how uplifting these 2 songs were for me in my youth. Then I decided to remake them as uptempo dance music to energize the downtrodden in the 21st-Century, & get people fired up for the struggle against Injustice, wherever they are! Sadness won't solve any problems. Motivation & focus will. Real peacemaking requires inner strength,& the humility to find common ground. Not just weapons & money. We can't keep trying to bomb & shoot & bribe our way to "peace". Ultimately, LOVE for our shared humanity & mutual, reciprocal respect is the only way to guarantee people's longterm safety! Thank you for listening to the music & sharing this vibe.

lyrics

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 citizen 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

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
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, sweet love
