There is a War
There is a war between the rich and poor A war between the man and the woman There is a war between the ones who say there is a war And the ones who say that there isn't [Chorus] Why don't you come on back to the war? That's right, get in it Why don't you come on back to the war? It's just beginning [Verse 2] Well I live here with a woman and a child The situation makes me kind of nervous Yes, I rise up from her arms, she says "I guess you call this love I call it service" [Chorus] Why don't you come on back to the war? Don't be a tourist Why don't you come on back to the war? Before it hurts us Why don't you come on back to the war? Let's all get nervous [Verse 3] You cannot stand what I've become You much prefer the gentleman I was before I was so easy to defeat, I was so easy to control I didn't even know there was a war -- Leonard Cohen, 1974
