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
