Twisted Logic is supposedly a political one I can think of off the top of my head

[nancyk58]

Lyrics of Twisted One;

Sunlight, opened up my eyes
To see for the first time
You'll open them up
And tonight, rivers will run dry
And not for the first time
Rivers will run

Hundreds of years in the future
It could be computers
Looking for life on earth

Don't fight for the wrong side
Say what you feel like
Say how you feel

You'll go backwards, but then
You'll go forwards again
You'll go backwards, but then
You'll go

Created, then drilled and invaded
If somebody made it
Someone will mess it up

And you are not wrong to
Ask who does this belong to
It belongs to all of us

You'll go backwards, but then
You'll go forwards again
You'll go backwards, but then
you'll go forwards

You'll go backwards, but then
you'll go forwards again
You'll go forwards again
You'll go forwards

I thought of POLITICS and watched the lyrics. I think that Twisted Logic is the better one of these two. And I cannot think of any other Coldplay song. GOOD LUCK to you.

...Ode to Deodorant?

[ViVA Child]

VIOLET HILL!
"Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And a fox became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And a cross held aloft"


it is rife with political statement!

and
Try Politik


...it was written right after 9/11

if the lyrics "give me love over this/ just open up your eyes" isnt a call for social justice i dont know what is


and Twisted Logic always seemed very blatantly about the enviornment soooo....ya

[Twisted mind]

Maybe "How you see the world No. 2"?

They put the world in a tin can
Black market contraband
And it hurt just a little bit
When they sliced and packaged it
In a long black trench coat
Two hands around the throat
Oh you wanna get it right sometimes

There's so much to be scared of
And not much to make sense of
How did the crowns ever get control
If you hear can you let me know
How can they invade it
When it's so complicated?
Oh you wanna get it right sometimes
You just wanna get it right sometimes

It's how you see the world
How many times can you say
You can't believe what you heard?
That's how you see the world
Don't you worry yourself
You're not gonna get hurt
Oooh

When there's something missing
Seems like there's nobody listening
If you're running in a circle
How can you be too careful
We don't want to be rent trapped
We don't wanna be shrink-wrapped
Oh just wanna get it right sometimes
We just wanna get it right sometimes

That's how you see the world
How many times have you heard
That you can't believe a word?
That's how you see the world
Ah don't you worry yourself
'Cause nobody can hurt you

That's how you see the world
That's how you see the world

As mentioned above... I think either Politik or How You See the World 2 (original version doesn't really work).

[Cobalt]

HYSTW2 is a bit hard to get your mitts on though, it isn't on here since it's a charity song.

[NumbersGirl]

You can download it on iTunes

[nouratan]

viva la vida. it may be interpreted as a political song

[WeddingDom]

Politik

"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 time give us a kiss
Tell me your own politik

And 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
Give me peace of mind and trust
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
Tell me your own politik

And open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

But give me love over, love over, love over this"

[cele]

"Television selling plastic
Figurines of leaders
Saying nothing at all"
Glass of water

[Cobalt]

Um the rest of GoW doesn't really have anything to do with topics mentioned

[lucyb]

What about 'Dont Panic' ? That certainly seems to be a bit environmental? Especially the video....but here are the lyrics:

bones sinking like stones

all that we fought for

homes, places we’ve grown

all of us are done for.

and we live in a beautiful world,

yeah we do yeah we do.

we live in a beautiful world.

bones sinking like stones

all that we fought for

homes, places we’ve grown

all of us are done for.

but we live in a beautiful world,

yeah we do yeah we do.

we live in a beautiful world.

oh all that I know,

there’s nothing here to run from

‘cos yeah, everybody here’s

got somebody to lean on

I vote for Politik and also it's the birthday these days
