Politik (Live) Lyrics
Coldplay
Lyrics
Look at earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real, don't give me fake
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me love, give us a kiss
And tell me your own politik
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Give me one, cause one is best
In confusion, confidence
I give me piece of mind and trust
But don't forget the rest of us
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix
My love tell me your own politik
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
And give me love over
Love over, love over this, ahh
Give me love over
Love over, love over this, ahh
