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