Political World — текст песни (Bob Dylan)

We live in a political world

Where love dont have any place

Were living in times where men commit crimes

And crime dont 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 arent wanted

Your next day could be your last



We live in a political world

The one we can see and feel

But theres no one to check, its all a stacked deck

We all know for sure that its real



We live in a political world

The cities are a lonesome fear

Little by little, you turn in the middle

Youre never sure why youre here



We live in a political world

Under the microscope

You could travel anywhere and hang yourself there

Youve always got more than enough rope



We live in a political world

Turning and a-thrashing about

As soon as youre awake youre trained to take

What looks like the easy way out



We live in a political world

Where peace is not welcome at all

Its turned away from the door to wander some more

Or put up against the wall



We live in a political world

Everythings hers and his

Climb into the flame and shout gods name

But youre not even sure what it is
