Leonard Cohen - Democracy слова песни
Its coming through a hole in the air]from those nights in tiananmen squareIts coming from the feelThat it aint exactly realOr its real, but it aint exactly there]from the wars against disorder]from the sirens night and day]from the fires of the homeless]from the ashes of the gayDemocracy is coming to the u.s.a.Its coming through a crack in the wallOn a visionary flood of alcohol]from the staggering accountOf the sermon on the mountWhich I dont pretend to understand at allIts coming from the silenceOn the dock of the bay]from the brave, the bold, the batteredHeart of chevroletDemocracy is coming to the u.s.a.Its coming from the sorrow on the streetThe holy places where the races meet]from the homicidal bitchinThat goes down in every kitchenTo determine who will serve and who will eat]from the wells of disappointmentWhere the women kneel to prayFor the grace of God in the desert hereAnd the desert far awayDemocracy is coming to the u.s.a.ChorusSail on, sail onO mighty ship of state!To the shores of needPast the reefs of greedThrough the squalls of hateSail on, sail on, sail on...Its coming to america firstThe cradle of the best and of the worstIts here they got the rangeAnd the machinery for changeAnd its here they got the spiritual thirstIts here the familys brokenAnd its here the lonely sayThat the heart has got to openIn a fundamental wayDemocracy is coming to the u.s.a.Its coming from the women and the menO baby, well be making love againWell be going down so deepThat the rivers going to weepAnd the mountains going to shout amen!Its coming like the tidal floodBeneath the lunar swayImperial, mysteriousIn amorous arrayDemocracy is coming to the u.s.a.ChorusIm sentimental, if you know what I meanI love the country but I cant stand the sceneAnd Im neither left or rightIm just staying home tonightGetting lost in that hopeless little screenBut Im stubborn as those garbage bagsThat time cannot decayIm junk but Im still holding upThis little wild bouquetDemocracy is coming to the u.s.a.
