Political World

Lyrics
We live in a political world Where 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 hangin' down Wedding bells ring and angels sing And clouds cover up the ground We live in a political world Wisdom is thrown into jail It rots in a cell misguided as hell Leaving no one to pick up the 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 Courage is a thing of the past The houses are haunted, children aren't wanted Your next day could be your last We live in a political world The one we can see and 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 The cities are a lonesome fear Little by little, you turn in the middle But you're never sure why you're here We live in a political world Under the microscope You could travel anywhere and hang yourself there You've 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 all It's turned away from the door to wander some more Or put up against the wall We live in a political world Every thing's hers and his Climb into the flame and shout God's name But you're not even sure what it is
