Intro: Am  
There is a Amwar between the rich and poor a war between the man and the wGoman
There is a Amwar between the ones who say there-is-a-war and the ones who say that there Gisn't
Why don't you cDome on back to the wCar? that's right, get in itG  
Why don't you cDome on back to the wCar? it's just beginningG  
Well I lAmive here with a woman and a child, the situation makes me kind of nGervous
Yes, I rAmise up from her arms, she says "I guess you call this love" I call it sGervice
Why don't you cDome on back to the wCar? don't be a touristG  
why don't you cDome on back to the wCar? before it hurts usG  
why don't you cDome on back to the wCar? let's all get nervousG  
You cannot sAmtand what I've become, you much prefer the gentleman I was befGore
I was so eAmasy to defeat, I was so easy to control, I didn't even know there was a wGar
Why don't you cDome on back to the wCar? don't be embarrassedG  
why don't you cDome on back to the wCar? you can still get marriedG  
There is a Amwar between the rich and poor, a war between the man and the womGan
There is a Amwar between the left and right, a war between the black and white
a war between the odd and the Geven
Why don't you cDome on back to the wCar? pick up your tiny bGurden
why don't you cDome on back to the wCar? let's all get evenG  
why don't you cDome on back to the wCar? can't you hear me speakinGg?
