Political World

[Verse 1]

We live in a political world

Love don’t have any place

We’re living in times where men commit crimes

And crime don’t have a face

[Verse 2]

We live in a political world

Icicles hanging down

Wedding bells ring and angels sing

Clouds cover up the ground

[Verse 3]

We live in a political world

Wisdom is thrown into jail

It rots in a cell, is misguided as hell

Leaving no one to pick up a trail

[Verse 4]

We live in a political world

Where mercy walks the plank

Life is in mirrors, death disappears

Up the steps into the nеarest bank

[Verse 5]

We live in a political world

Whеre courage is a thing of the past

Houses are haunted, children are unwanted

The next day could be your last

[Verse 6]

We live in a political world

The one we can see and can feel

But there’s no one to check, it’s all a stacked deck

We all know for sure that it’s real

[Verse 7]

We live in a political world

In the cities of lonesome fear

Little by little you turn in the middle

But you’re never sure why you’re here

[Verse 8]

We live in a political world

Under the microscope

You can travel anywhere and hang yourself there

You always got more than enough rope

[Verse 9]

We live in a political world

Turning and a-thrashing about

As soon as you’re awake, you’re trained to take

What looks like the easy way out

[Verse 10]

We live in a political world

Where peace is not welcome at all

It’s turned away from the door to wander some more

Or put up against the wall

[Verse 11]

We live in a political world

Everything is hers or his

Climb into the frame and shout God’s name

But you’re not even sure what it is
