Bob Dylan - Political World Lyrics
We live in a political worldWhere love dont have any placeWere living in times where men commit crimesAnd crime dont have a faceWe live in a political worldIcicles hangin downWedding bells ring and angels singAnd clouds cover up the groundWe live in a political worldWisdom is thrown into jailIt rots in a cell misguided as hellLeaving no one to pick up the trailWe live in a political worldWhere mercy walks the plankLife is in mirrors, death disappearsUp the steps into the nearest bankWe live in a political worldCourage is a thing of the pastHouses are haunted, children arent wantedYour next day could be your lastWe live in a political worldThe one we can see and feelBut theres no one to check, its all a stacked deckWe all know for sure that its realWe live in a political worldThe cities are a lonesome fearLittle by little, you turn in the middleYoure never sure why youre hereWe live in a political worldUnder the microscopeYou could travel anywhere and hang yourself thereYouve always got more than enough ropeWe live in a political worldTurning and a-thrashing aboutAs soon as youre awake youre trained to takeWhat looks like the easy way outWe live in a political worldWhere peace is not welcome at allIts turned away from the door to wander some moreOr put up against the wallWe live in a political worldEverythings hers and hisClimb into the flame and shout gods nameBut youre not even sure what it is
