Leonard Cohen's "There Is a War" (First Released 1974)

There's more going on in the song, but here's an excerpt (actually, two excerpts merged, out of order) that's been on my mind; it seems pretty clear that Cohen's commentary is not an endorsement:

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 …
There is a war between the ones who say there is a war
And the ones who say that there isn't
