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