Democracy - Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]

It's coming through a hole in the air [00:00:19]

From those nights[00:00:24]

In Tiananmen Square [00:00:25]

It's coming from the feel[00:00:29]

That this ain't exactly real [00:00:31]

Or it's real but it ain't exactly there [00:00:33]

From the wars against disorder [00:00:38]

From the sirens night and day [00:00:40]

From the fires of the homeless [00:00:43]

From the ashes of the gay:[00:00:45]

Democracy is coming to the U S A [00:00:48]

It's coming through a crack in the wall;[00:01:12]

On a visionary flood of alcohol;[00:01:17]

From the staggering account[00:01:22]

Of the Sermon on the Mount[00:01:24]

Which I don't pretend[00:01:27]

To understand at all [00:01:28]

It's coming from the silence[00:01:32]

On the dock of the bay [00:01:34]

From the brave the bold the battered[00:01:36]

Heart of Chevrolet:[00:01:39]

Democracy is coming to the U S A [00:01:42]

It's coming from the sorrow in the street [00:02:06]

The holy places where the races meet;[00:02:11]

From the homicidal bitchin'[00:02:15]

That goes down in every kitchen[00:02:18]

To determine who will serve[00:02:20]

And who will eat [00:02:22]

From the wells of disappointment[00:02:25]

Where the women kneel to pray[00:02:28]

For the grace of God in the desert here[00:02:30]

And the desert far away:[00:02:33]

Democracy is coming to the U S A [00:02:35]

Sail on sail on[00:02:59]

O mighty Ship of State [00:03:04]

To the Shores of Need[00:03:09]

Past the Reefs of Greed[00:03:11]

Through the Squalls of Hate[00:03:13]

Sail on sail on sail on sail on [00:03:18]

It's coming to America first [00:03:36]

The cradle of the best[00:03:41]

And of the worst [00:03:43]

It's here they got the range[00:03:45]

And the machinery for change[00:03:48]

And it's here[00:03:50]

They got the spiritual thirst [00:03:51]

It's here the family's broken[00:03:55]

And it's here the loneliest sea[00:03:57]

That the heart has got to open[00:04:00]

In a fundamental way:[00:04:02]

Democracy is coming to the U S A [00:04:05]

It's coming from[00:04:29]

The women and the men [00:04:31]

O baby we'll be making love again [00:04:34]

We'll be going down so deep[00:04:39]

The river's going to weep [00:04:41]

And the mountain's going[00:04:44]

To shout Amen [00:04:45]

It's coming like the tidal flood[00:04:49]

Beneath the lunar sway [00:04:51]

Imperial mysterious [00:04:53]

In amorous array:[00:04:56]

Democracy is coming to the U S A [00:04:58]

Sail on sail on[00:05:22]

O mighty Ship of State [00:05:28]

To the Shores of Need[00:05:32]

Past the Reefs of Greed[00:05:35]

Through the Squalls of Hate[00:05:37]

Sail on sail on sail on sail on [00:05:42]

I'm sentimental [00:05:59]

If you know what I mean[00:06:00]

I love the country[00:06:03]

But I can't stand the scene [00:06:05]

And I'm neither left or right[00:06:09]

I'm just staying home tonight [00:06:11]

Getting lost in[00:06:13]

That hopeless little screen [00:06:15]

But I'm stubborn[00:06:18]

As those garbage bags[00:06:20]

That Time cannot decay [00:06:21]

I'm junk but I'm still holding up[00:06:23]

This little wild bouquet:[00:06:26]

Democracy is coming to the U S A [00:06:28]

To the U S A[00:06:37]
