Democracy - Leonard Cohen

It's coming through a hole in the air

From those nights
In Tiananmen Square

It's coming from the feel
That this ain't exactly real
Or it's real but it ain't exactly there

From the wars against disorder
From the sirens night and day
From the fires of the homeless
From the ashes of the gay:

Democracy is coming to the U S A

It's coming through a crack in the wall;

On a visionary flood of alcohol;

From the staggering account

Of the Sermon on the Mount

Which I don't pretend
To understand at all

It's coming from the silence

On the dock of the bay
From the brave the bold the battered
Heart of Chevrolet:

Democracy is coming to the U S A

It's coming from the sorrow in the street

The holy places where the races meet;

From the homicidal bitchin'
That goes down in every kitchen
To determine who will serve
And who will eat

From the wells of disappointment

Where the women kneel to pray

For the grace of God in the desert here
And the desert far away:

Democracy is coming to the U S A

Sail on sail on

O mighty Ship of State

To the Shores of Need

Past the Reefs of Greed

Through the Squalls of Hate

Sail on sail on sail on sail on

It's coming to America first

The cradle of the best
And of the worst

It's here they got the range
And the machinery for change
And it's here
They got the spiritual thirst

It's here the family's broken
And it's here the loneliest sea
That the heart has got to open
In a fundamental way:

Democracy is coming to the U S A

It's coming from
The women and the men

O baby we'll be making love again

We'll be going down so deep
The river's going to weep
And the mountain's going
To shout Amen

It's coming like the tidal flood
Beneath the lunar sway

Imperial mysterious
In amorous array:

Democracy is coming to the U S A

Sail on sail on

O mighty Ship of State

To the Shores of Need

Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate

Sail on sail on sail on sail on

I'm sentimental
If you know what I mean

I love the country
But I can't stand the scene

And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight
Getting lost in
That hopeless little screen

But I'm stubborn
As those garbage bags
That Time cannot decay

I'm junk but I'm still holding up
This little wild bouquet:

Democracy is coming to the U S A

To the U S A
