War Party Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ErikO 

Cover art for War Party lyrics by Eddy Grant

Surley about the apartheid days.

Their struggle with white-invaders, broken peace agreements, and their understandable will to come together and fight for their freedom. To which Eddie says 'everyone keeps inviting me to a war party' (protest / demonstration / retaliation), and he is tired of it all. 'Me no wanna go'.

'Heard it all before' broken promises... etc.

He walked out on stage with this as his first track in 2009, in Cape Town. Brilliant.

I was 11yrs old when I bought the albumn....wow how time flies...
