Lyrics
[Verse 1] We live in a political world Love don’t have any place We’re living in times where men commit crimes And crime don’t have a face [Verse 2] We live in a political world Icicles hanging down Wedding bells ring and angels sing Clouds cover up the ground [Verse 3] We live in a political world Wisdom is thrown into jail It rots in a cell, is misguided as hell Leaving no one to pick up a trail [Verse 4] We live in a political world Where mercy walks the plank Life is in mirrors, death disappears Up the steps into the nearest bank [Verse 5] We live in a political world Where courage is a thing of the past Houses are haunted, children are unwanted The next day could be your last [Verse 6] We live in a political world The one we can see and can feel But there’s no one to check, it’s all a stacked deck We all know for sure that it’s real [Verse 7] We live in a political world In the cities of lonesome fear Little by little you turn in the middle But you’re never sure why you’re here [Verse 8] We live in a political world Under the microscope You can travel anywhere and hang yourself there You always got more than enough rope [Verse 9] We live in a political world Turning and a-thrashing about As soon as you’re awake, you’re trained to take What looks like the easy way out [Verse 10] We live in a political world Where peace is not welcome at all It’s turned away from the door to wander some more Or put up against the wall [Verse 11] We live in a political world Everything is hers or his Climb into the frame and shout God’s name But you’re never sure what it is
