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
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
Turning and a'thrashing about,
As soon as you're awake, you're trained to take
What looks like the easy way out.

— Bob Dylan, Political World (1989)
