This song should be interpreted considering the following quote from "Union Sundown" (Album: Infidels):
Democracy don't rule the world,
You'd better get that in your head.
This world is ruled by violence
But I guess that's better left unsaid.
I keep trying to find out what is making our world politial, how this works, and what would be the better, non-political character. It appears that political decisions are dominated by consderations of finding enough allies to have them pushed through. They are led by tactics. "Polticial world" tells us what gets lost when our decisions and our consciences are censored by political considerations.
