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
