Political World |
| 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 |
| We live in a political world, |
| Icicles hanging down, |
| Wedding bells ring and angels sing, |
| clouds cover up the ground. |
| 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. |
| We live in a political world |
| Where mercy walks the plank, |
| Life is in mirrors, death disappears |
| Up the steps into the nearest bank. |
| We live in a political world |
| Where courage is a thing of the past |
| Houses are haunted, children are unwanted |
| The next day could be your last. |
| 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. |
| We live in a political world |
| In the cities of lonesome fear, |
| Little by little you turn in the middle |
| But you’re never why you’re here. |
| We live in a political world |
| Under the microscope, |
| You can travel anywhere and hang yourself there |
| You always got more than enough rope. |
| 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. |
| We live in a political world |
| Where peace is not welcome at al, |
| It’s turned away from the door to wander some more |
| Or put up against the wall. |
| We live in apolitical world |
| Everything is hers or his, |
| Climb into the frame and shout God’s name |
| But you’re never sure what it is. |
