[ti: There Is A War]
[length: 03:00]
[00:05.55]There is a war between the rich and poor
[00:09.00]A war between the man and the woman
[00:14.81]There is a war between the ones who say there is a war
[00:18.54]And the ones who say that there isn’t
[00:23.50]Why don’t you come on back to the war?
[00:26.74]That’s right, get in it
[00:31.82]Why don’t you come on back to the war?
[00:34.87]It’s just beginning
[00:39.92]Well, I live here with a woman and a child
[00:42.73]The situation makes me kind of nervous
[00:48.22]Yes, I rise up from her arms, she says
[00:51.33]”I guess you call this love, I call it service”
[00:56.71]Why don’t you come on back to the war?
[00:59.94]Don’t be a tourist
[01:04.78]Why don’t you come on back to the war?
[01:08.20]Before it hurts us
[01:13.28]Why don’t you come on back to the war?
[01:16.08]Let’s all get nervous
[01:21.25]You cannot stand what I’ve become
[01:23.44]You much prefer the gentleman I was before
[01:27.39]I was so easy to defeat, I was so easy to control
[01:32.74]I didn’t even know there was a war
[01:37.20]
[01:39.61]Why don’t you come on back to the war?
[01:42.79]Don’t be embarrassed
[01:47.55]Why don’t you come on back to the war?
[01:51.42]You can still get married
[01:55.82]There is a war between the rich and poor
[01:58.44]A war between the man and the woman
[02:04.18]There is a war between the left and right
[02:06.64]A war between the black and white
[02:08.88]A war between the odd and the even
[02:14.44]Why don’t you come on back to the war?
[02:17.44]Pick up your tiny burden
[02:22.59]Why don’t you come on back to the war?
[02:26.00]Let’s all get even
[02:30.85]Why don’t you come on back to the war?
[02:33.64]Can’t you hear me speaking?
