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