[Intro]
| F#m | % | % | % |
| F#m | % | % | % |
[Verse 1]
F#m We live in a political world F#m Love don't have any place F#m We're living in times where men commit crimes F#m | F#m | % | % | % | And crime don't have any face.
[Verse 2]
F#m We live in a political world F#m Icicles hanging down F#m Wedding bells ring and angels sing F#m | F#m | % | And clouds cover up the ground.
[Verse 3]
F#m We live in a political world F#m Wisdom is thrown in jail F#m It rots in a cell, misguided as hell F#m | F#m | % | Leaving no one to pick up a trail.
[Verse 4]
F#m We live in a political world F#m Where mercy walks the plank F#m Life is in mirrors, death disappears F#m | F#m | % | % | % | Up the steps into the nearest bank.
[Verse 5]
F#m We live in a political world F#m Where courage is a thing of the past F#m Houses are haunted, children are unwanted F#m The next day could be your last.
[Verse 6]
F#m We live in a political world F#m The one we can see and feel F#m But there's no one to check, it's all a stacked deck F#m | F#m | % | % | % | We all know for sure that it's real.
[Verse 7]
F#m We live in a political world F#m In the cities of lonesome fear F#m Little by little you turn in the middle F#m | F#m | % | But you're never sure why you're here.
[Verse 8]
F#m We live in a political world F#m Under the microscope F#m You can travel anywhere and hang yourself there F#m | F#m | % | You always got more than enough rope.
[Verse 9]
F#m We live in a political world F#m Turning and trashing about F#m As soon as you're awake you're trained to take F#m | F#m | % | % | % | What looks like the easy way out.
[Verse 10]
F#m We live in a political world F#m Where peace is not welcome at all F#m It's turned away from the door to wonder some more F#m | F#m | % | % | % | Or put up against the wall.
[Verse 11]
F#m We live in a political world F#m Everything is hers and his F#m Climb into the frame and shout God's name F#m But you're not even sure what it is.
[Outro]
