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 Any Face.



We Live In A Political World

Icicles Hanging Own

Wedding Bells Ring

And Angels Sing

Clouds Cover Up The Ground.



We Live In A Political World

Wisdom Is Thrown In Jail

It Rots In A Cell

Is 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 To The Nearest Bank.



We Live In A Political World

Where Courage Is A Thing Of The Past

Houses Are Haunted

Children 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.



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.

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 Trashing 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 Wonder Some More

Or Put Up Against The Wall.



We Live In A Political World

Everything Is Hers And His

Climb Into The Frame

And Shout God's Name

But You're Never Sure What It Is.
