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