Artist/Band: Leonard Cohen Lyrics for Song: There Is A War Lyrics for Album: Complete Studio Albums Collection [2011] 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

There Is A War

Leonard Cohen's 'There Is A War' stands as a haunting centerpiece within his expansive discography, reflecting the poet's signature blend of spiritual inquiry and social commentary. Recorded for the 2011 Complete Studio Albums Collection, the track exemplifies Cohen's mastery of the art song and folk traditions, utilizing sparse instrumentation to underscore themes of conflict and redemption. The composition draws upon his lifelong engagement with biblical narratives and historical tragedies, translating complex theological concepts into accessible, emotive language. As part of his broader catalog of works spanning decades, this recording reinforces Cohen's status as a pivotal figure in art song and folk music, influencing generations of musicians who prioritize lyrical depth and atmospheric texture over conventional pop structures.
