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