[Intro]
| F#m | % | % | % |
| F#m | % | % | % |
[Verse]
We F#mlive in a political world
F#mLove don't have any place
We're F#mliving in times where men commit crimes
F#m | F#m | % | % | % |
And crime don't have any face.
[Verse]
We F#mlive in a political world
F#mIcicles hanging down
F#mWedding bells ring and angels sing
F#m | F#m | % |
And clouds cover up the ground.
[Verse]
We F#mlive in a political world
F#mWisdom is thrown in jail
It F#mrots in a cell, misguided as hell
F#m | F#m | % |
Leaving no one to pick up a trail.
[Verse]
We F#mlive in a political world
Where F#mmercy walks the plank
F#mLife is in mirrors, death disappears
F#m | F#m | % | % | % |
Up the steps into the nearest bank.
[Verse]
We F#mlive in a political world
Where F#mcourage is a thing of the past
F#mHouses are haunted, children are unwanted
The F#mnext day could be your last.
[Verse]
We F#mlive in a political world
TheF#m one we can see and feel
But there's F#mno one to check, it's all a stacked deck
F#m | F#m | % | % | % |
We all know for sure that it's real.
[Verse]
We F#mlive in a political world
In the F#mcities of lonesome fear
F#mLittle by little you turn in the middle
F#m | F#m | % |
But you're never sure why you're here.
[Verse]
We F#mlive in a political world
F#mUnder the microscope
You can F#mtravel anywhere and hang yourself there
F#m | F#m | % |
You always got more than enough rope.
[Verse]
We F#mlive in a political world
F#mTurning and trashing about
As F#msoon as you're awake you're trained to take
F#m | F#m | % | % | % |
What looks like the easy way out.
[Verse]
We F#mlive in a political world
Where F#mpeace is not welcome at all
It's turned aF#mway from the door to wonder some more
F#m | F#m | % | % | % |
Or put up against the wall.
[Verse]
We F#mlive in a political world
F#mEverything is hers and his
F#mClimb into the frame and shout God's name
But you're F#mnot even sure what it is.
[Outro]
