| 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? |
