  44 F#m
  45 We live in a political world
  46 Love don't have any place
  47 We're living in times
  48 Where men commit crimes
  49 And crime don't have any face.
  50
  51 We live in a political world
  52 Icicles hanging down
  53 Wedding bells ring
  54 And angels sing
  55 Clouds cover up the ground.
  56
  57 We live in a political world
  58 Wisdom is thrown in jail
  59 It rots in a cell
  60 Is misguided as hell
  61 Leaving no one to pick up a trail.
  62
  63 We live in a political world
  64 Where mercy walks the plank
  65 Life is in mirrors
  66 Death disappears
  67 Up the steps into the nearest bank.
  68
  69 We live in a political world
  70 Where courage is a thing of the past
  71 Houses are haunted
  72 Children unwanted
  73 The next day could be your last.
  74
  75 We live in a political world
  76 The one we can see and feel
  77 But there's no one to check
  78 It's all a stacked deck
  79 We all know for sure that it's real.
  80
  81 We live in a political world
  82 In the cities of lonesome fear
  83 Little by little
  84 You turn in the middle
  85 But you're never sure why you're here.
  86
  87 We live in a political world
  88 Under the microscope
  89 You can travel anywhere
  90 And hang yourself there
  91 You always got more than enough rope.
  92
  93 We live in a political world
  94 Turning and trashing about
  95 As soon as you're awake
  96 You're trained to take
  97 What looks like the easy way out.
  98
  99 We live in a political world
 100 Where peace is not welcome at all
 101 It's turned away from the door
 102 To wonder some more
 103 Or put up against the wall.
 104
 105 We live in a political world
 106 Everything is hers and his
 107 Climb into the frame
 108 And shout God's name
 109 But you're never sure what it is.
