Bono

Paul David Hewson (born 10 May 1960), known by his stage name Bono (/ˈbɒnoʊ/ BON-oh), is an Irish singer, musician, and humanitarian best known for being the main vocalist of the Dublin-based rock band U2. Bono was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, and attended Mount Temple Comprehensive School where he met his future wife, Alison Stewart, and the future members of U2. Bono writes almost all U2 lyrics, often using political, social, and religious themes. During their early years, Bono's lyrics contributed to U2's rebellious and spiritual tone. As the band matured, his lyrics became inspired more by personal experiences shared with members of U2. more »

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 color of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the color 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,
Well, everywhere is war 
Me say war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south 
War, war 
Rumors 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!
