Political World Lyrics by Bob Dylan

Political World Lyrics

    We live in a political world
    Where 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 hangin' down
    Wedding bells ring and angels sing
    And clouds cover up the ground

    We live in a political world
    Wisdom is thrown into jail
    It rots in a cell misguided as hell
    Leaving no one to pick up the trail

    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
    Courage is a thing of the past
    Houses are haunted, children aren't wanted
    Your next day could be your last

    We live in a political world
    The one we can see and 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
    The cities are a lonesome fear
    Little by little, you turn in the middle
    You're never sure why you're here

    We live in a political world
    Under the microscope
    You could travel anywhere and hang yourself there
    You've 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 a political world
    Everything's hers and his
    Climb into the flame and shout God's name
    But you're not even sure what it is
