Political World - Carolina Chocolate Drops

We live in a political world

Love don't have any place

We're living in times where men commit crimes

And crime don't have a face

We live in a political world

Icicles hanging down

Wedding bells ring and angels sing

Clouds cover up the ground

We live in a political world

Where mercy walks the plank

Life is in mirrors death disappears

Up the steps into the nearest bank

We live in a political world

Where courage is a thing of the past

Houses are haunted children are unwanted

The next day could be your last

We live in a political world

The one we can see and can feel

But there's no one to check

It's all a stacked deck

We all know for sure that it's real

We live in a political world

In the cities of lonesome fear

Little by little you turn in the middle

But you're never why you're here

We live in a political world

Under the microscope

You can travel anywhere

And hang yourself there

You always got more than enough rope

We live in a political world

Turning and a thrashing 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

It's turned away from the

Door to wander some more

Or put up against the wall

We live in apolitical world

Love don't have any place

We're living in times where men commit crimes

And crime don't have a face
