"Political World" is an uptempo folk rock song written and recorded
by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released as the opening
track on his 1989 album Oh Mercy and as a single in Europe in 1990.
It was produced by Daniel Lanois.

"Dylan describes writing the lyrics of "Political World" in his
Malibu home in the "Oh Mercy" chapter of his memoir Chronicles:
Volume One: "One night when everyone was asleep and I was sitting
at the kitchen table, nothing on the hillside but a shiny bed of
lights - all that changed. I wrote about twenty verses for a song
called "Political World" and this was about the first of twenty
songs I would write in the next month or so...With the song I
thought I might have broken through to something. It was like you
wake up from a deep and drugged slumber and somebody strikes a
little silver gong and you come to your senses". Dylan also notes
that he wrote approximately twice as many verses as he recorded
and includes an example of one of the discarded verses in the book.

In their book Bob Dylan All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track,
authors Philippe Margotin and Jean-Michel Guesdon note how Daniel
Lanois's atmospheric production plunges listeners "into a dreamy,
heavy, menacing but definitely original vibe. The fade-in subtly
introduces the drum part, supported by an excellent bassline by
Tony Hall. He puts an irresistible pulse to the piece on his four
string. Dylan has finally found his producer". The song is
performed in the key of F-sharp minor."
