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
 
** Crime does have a face, it's the face of the enemy

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,
Wisdom is thrown into jail,
It rots in a cell, is misguided as hell
Leaving no one to pick up a trail.
 
**The Word of God is not bound. Wisdom cries in the
streets "come in here"

We live in a political world
Where mercy walks the plank,
Life is in mirrors, death disappears
Up the steps into the nearest bank.
 
** Was/is Dylan on drugs?

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.
 
**Our troops have courage and people travel halfway
around the world to adopt children, where is he at?

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.
 
**And what about the spiritual reality behind what we
see and feel??

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.
 
**How depressing

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.
 
**Trained by whom? A godly conscience takes the
right way.

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.
 
**Jesus says "take my yoke upon you and learn from me
from I am meek and lowly in heart and you will find
rest for your soul"

We live in a political world
Everything is hers or his,
Climb into the frame and shout God's name
But you're never sure what it is. 
 
**I'm sure what God's name is, Dylan is speaking for himself, and I heard he had been born again.  Must have been a false report. This is not the wisdom from above.
