Political World

We live in a political world,Love don't have any place.We're living in times where men commit crimesAnd crime don't have a faceWe 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 hellLeaving no one to pick up a trail.We live in a political worldWhere mercy walks the plank,Life is in mirrors, death disappearsUp the steps into the nearest bank.We live in a political worldWhere courage is a thing of the pastHouses are haunted, children are unwantedThe next day could be your last.We live in a political world.The one we can see and can feelBut 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 worldIn the cities of lonesome fear,Little by little you turn in the middleBut you're never why you're here.We live in a political worldUnder the microscope,You can travel anywhere and hang yourself thereYou always got more than enough rope.We live in a political worldTurning and a'thrashing about,As soon as you're awake, you're trained to takeWhat looks like the easy way out.We live in a political worldWhere peace is not welcome at al,It's turned away from the door to wander some moreOr put up against the wall.We live in apolitical worldEverything is hers or his,Climb into the frame and shout God's nameBut you're never sure what it is.
