Politik is the first song on A Rush of Blood to the Head. The song was written on September 13, 2001. Chris Martin wrote it after the attacks of the World Trade Center in New York City. He confirmed that it was written about the state of the world. The song's rhythm is very banging-like, with silent verses. Politik is frequently played live during almost all their tours since the release, usually as an opener.

Lyrics

Look at earth from outer space
Everyone must find the 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

Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Give me one, cause one is best
And in confusion, confidence
Give me peace of mind and trust
And 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
Oh Love, tell me your own politik

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

And give me love over, love over, love over this
And give me love over, love over, love over this
