Lyric 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 there isn t.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Why don t you come on back to the war, don t be embarrassed,
why don t you come on back to the war, you can still get married.

There is a war between the rich and poor,
a war between the man and the woman.
There is a war between the left and right,
a war between the black and white,
a war between the odd and the even.

Why don t you come on back to the war, pick up your tiny burden,
why don t you come on back to the war, let s all get even,
why don t you come on back to the war, can t you hear me speaking?
