*******************
“We spoke out against racism, hunger, gangs, crimes, and turf wars, as we embraced all people with hope and the spirit of brotherhood. It’s just as apropos today.” - WAR
WAR, the original street band, was founded by veteran record producer Jerry Goldstein and rock legend Eric Burdon in 1969. Together with the original band members Lonnie Jordan, Howard Scott, Lee Oskar, B.B. Dickerson, Harold Brown, the late Thomas “Papa Dee” Allen, and Charles Miller, they blended many musical styles and influences. The musical laboratory that is WAR yielded 17 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards, including the triple platinum ‘The World Is A Ghetto’ and double platinum ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends?’ and ‘Greatest Hits’, and hit songs "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", "Spill the Wine", and "The Cisco Kid".
WAR began playing live shows to sold-out audiences in the 1970s and continues their commitment to being road WARriors, touring over 150 dates a year to this day.

B.B.'s haunting vocals here really shine with light and truth. He had his issues, as we all do, but this song heals much. In any case, he has gone home to his Maker, where Lazarus is poor no longer. Thank you and God bless you, Mr. Dickerson.

Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed Looking at the sky, starry-eyed Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed Crying in the night, teary-eyed Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Wonder when I'll find paradise Somewhere there's a home sweet and nice Wonder if I'll find happiness Never give it up now I guess Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo There's no need to search anywhere Happiness is here, have your share If you know you're loved, be secure Paradise is love to be sure Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo Don't you know that it's true That for me and for you The world is a dojo
