Lyrics

Bilingual
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
ย
We live in a political world
Icicles hangin' down
Wedding bells ring and angels sing
And clouds cover up the ground
ย
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
ย
We live in a political world
Where mercy walks the plank
Life is in mirrors, death disappears
Up the steps into the nearest bank
ย
We live in a political world
ย
Courage is a thing of the past
The 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 feel
But there's no one to check, it's all a stacked deck
We all know for sure that it's real
ย
We live in a political world
ย
In the cities of lonesome fear
Little by little, you turn in the middle
But you're never sure why you're here
ย
We live in a political world
Under the microscope
You can travel anywhere and hang yourself there
You always got more than enough rope
ย
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
ย
We live in a political world
ย
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
ย
Every thing's hers and his
Climb into the flame and shout God's name
But you're not even sure what it is
ย
