Leonard Cohen Lyrics

Album: New Skin for the Old Ceremony

THERE IS A WAR Lyrics

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

Why don't you come on back to the war

Ah yes 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 room service. 

Why don't you come on back to the war

Why don't you come on back to the war

You cannot stand what I've become, 

You much prefer that 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

Why don't you come on back to the war

Come on back to the war

Come on back to the war

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 this war

Why don't you come on back to the war

Why don't you come on back to the war

Come on back to the war

Come on back to the war

Come on back to the war

Come on back to the war
