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