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