Intro 1

Verse 1
Am 
We live in a political world
Where love don't have any place
We live in a time where
men commit crimes
And crimes don't have a face
We live in a political world
Icicles hanging down
Wedding bells ringing
Angels singing
Clouds cover up the ground
D 
Am 
D 
We live in a political world
Am 
Wisdom is thrown into jail
It rots in our cells
D 
Misguided as hell
Am 
Leaving no one to pick up a trail
D 
Am 
We live in a political world
D 
Am 
Where mercy walks the plain
Life is in mirrors
And death disappears on the steps
into the nearest bank
D 
Am 
We live in a political world
Where courage is a thing of the past
D 
Am 
Houses are haunted,
D 
children are no more
Am 
And the next   day could be your last
D 
Am 
We live in a political world
One we can see and feel
But there's no one to check
It's all a step death
We know for sure that it's real
We live in a political world
In the cities of lonesome fear
F 
Little by little you turn in the middle
Am 
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
D 
Am 
Always got more than enough room
D 
We live in a political world
Am 
Turning to clashing about
As soon as you're awake
D 
you're trained to take
Am 
looks

Interlude 1

Verse 11
Am 
We live in a political world
Peace is not welcome at all
It turned away from the door
to wallow some more
Put up against the wall
We live in a political world
Everything is hers or his
Climb into the frame and
shout God's name
But you're never sure what it is
We live in a political world
We live in a political world
We live in a political world
C 
Am

Dm 
Am 
I'm
We live in a political world
Love don't have any place
Living in times where men commit crimes
And crime don't have a face
D 
Am 
We live in a political world
Icicles hangin' down
Wedding bells ring
Angels sing
And clouds cover up the ground
We live in a political world
Wisdom is thrown in jail
It rides in a cell
And God is a tail
And you've no one to pick up the trail
We live in a political world
Where mercy walks the plank
Life is a mirror as the death disappears
On the steps of 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
One we can see and feel
But there's no one to check
It's all a stack deck
And we all know for sure that it's real
Oh, yeah.
We live in a political world
And the city's 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 can travel anywhere
And hang yourself there
You've always got more
than enough room
We live in a political world
Turnin' and thrashin' 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
So turn away from the door
to wander some more
Or put up against the wall
We live in a political world
Everything is hers or his
Climb into the frame and
shout God's name
But you never truly wanted it
You
