INFORMATION ABOUT THE REGGAE SONG "GET UP STAND UP"
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Up,_Stand_Up
" "Get Up, Stand Up" is a song written by Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. It originally appeared on The Wailers' 1973 album Burnin'. It was recorded and played live in numerous versions by The Wailers and Bob Marley and the Wailers, along with solo versions by Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. It was later included on the compilations Legend and Rebel Music, as well as live recordings such as Live at the Roxy among others.

In 1973, "Get Up, Stand Up" peaked at number 33 on the Dutch Top 40.[1] In 1986, it peaked at number 49 in New Zealand.[2]"

[...]


The song was frequently performed at Marley's concerts, often as the last song. "Get Up, Stand Up" was also the last song Marley ever performed on stage, on 23 September 1980 at the Stanley Theater, now the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

[...]

Recordings by the Wailers
The song was re-recorded and re-released by the three major Wailers on their own solo releases, each with varying arrangements and approaches to the third verse, which claims that "Almighty God is a living man". Bob Marley and the Wailers released a Bob Marley only version on Live! in 1975, this version was notable for the "WO-YO!" refrain after the third verse. Tosh would include his own solo version on his second album, Equal Rights in 1977. Bunny Wailer was the last to release his own version on Protest. This version actually featured Tosh due to his involvement in recording the album."...

LYRICS: WAR
(Robert Nesta Marley)

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

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south -
War - war -
Rumours 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

LYRICS: WE DON'T NEED NO MORE TROUBLE
(Robert Nesta Marley)

Wo! Oh-oh-oh!
(We don't need) we don't need no, no more trouble!
We don't need no 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 (strong)

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!

No more trouble, no more trouble!
Speak happiness! (Sad enough without your woes)
Fortune, come on, you all and speak of love (sad enough without your woes) 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 really need no trouble!
Oh! We don't need no trouble!
What we need is love!

We don't need, we don't need no more, we don't need
No more trouble, we don't need no more trouble!
Trouble we don't need, we don't need
(We don't need) Lord, knows
We don't need no more war (no more trouble)
No more trouble, we don't need no more, more trouble!

"#MarleyMondays - War and No More Trouble. I remember 5 years ago when I first got my vintage bass. I said to myself if I can play this song then I'll know how to play the bass. Luv the No More Trouble LIVE version of this song - its like the remix! I've been playing this song on my bass for a few years now!! Respect to the elder Aston "Family Man" Barrett on bass. He's still touring with the Wailers. All of my Bob Marley fans in Atlanta join me @ Terminal West to see the Wailers perform LIVE on September 30, 2015. #BobMarley #War #nomoretrouble #marleymonday #vintagebass"

"The BBC banned this song to play on the radio during the Gulf War. In fear of an anti war mood between the soldiers there."

"...to the League of Nations, on the occasion of Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia."

for the complete speech that Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia gave to the League of Nations (June 1936). Bob Marley's song "War" isn't excerpts of that speech, but a creative rendering of some of the points that were made in that speech.
