peace in the ghettoes all round about

we are all in a one and one in all

so throw away the guns and the war's all gone

so throw away the hunger and the war's all gone

so throw away the fighting and the war's all gone

so throw away the grudges and the war's all gone

love and respect your itren and protect your little sistren

my friend

don't fight against no colour class or creed

for on discrimination does violence breed

we are all in a one and one in all

so throw away the guns and the war's all gone

so throw away the hunger and the war's all gone

so throw away the fighting and the war's all gone

so throw away the grudges and the war's all gone

comfort the afflicted and keep them from harm

let age be protected and the infants be strong

go for it!

you got to pass the bowl and make the food go round

cause that's the only way to trample crime to the ground

equal rights and justice for one and all

cause only through liberty freedom shall form

don't fight against no colour class or creed

for on discrimination does violence breed

we are all in a one and one in all

so throw away the guns and the war's all gone

so throw away the hunger and the war's all gone

so throw away the fighting and the war's all gone

so throw away the guns and the war's all gone

so throw away the hunger and the war's all gone

so throw away the fighting and the war's all gone

so throw away the grudges and the war's all gone
