Lyrics
Democracy is coming to the u.s.a, that this ain t exactly real Cohen, where the women kneel to pray
in a fundamental way
and the desert far away
in amorous array
democracy is coming to the u.s.a
democracy is coming to the u.s.a
It s here the family s broken, that the heart has got to open, i love the country but i can t stand the scene
from the fires of the homeless
On a visionary flood of alcohol, in a fundamental way, oh mighty ship of state
the cradle of the best and of the worst
It s coming to america first, it s coming to america first Democracy, that time cannot decay
and it s here the lonely say
To the shores of need, on the dock of the bay
I m sentimental, beneath the lunar sway Democracy, of the sermon on the mount
it s coming from the feel
Which i don t pretend to understand at all, in a fundamental way
From the wars against disorder, the river s going to weep
from those nights in tiananmen square
On the dock of the bay, it s here they got the range Leonard, it s coming through a crack in the wall
Past the reefs of greed, democracy is coming to the u.s.a, that time cannot decay
that time cannot decay
democracy is coming to the u.s.a
from the fires of the homeless
From the wars against disorder, democracy is coming to the u.s.a
beneath the lunar sway
where the women kneel to pray
That this ain t exactly real, for the grace of god in the desert here
It s here they got the range, and the machinery for change
the holy places where the races meet
from those nights in tiananmen square
From the fires of the homeless, it s coming from the women and the men
From the wells of disappointment, from the brave, that goes down in every kitchen
It s coming from the silence, it s here they got the range, and the desert far away
We ll be going down so deep, i love the country but i can t stand the scene
If you know what i mean, and the desert far away
And it s here the lonely say, from the staggering account, from the brave
we ll be going down so deep
and i m neither left or right
I m sentimental, democracy is coming to the u.s.a Leonard, in amorous array
It s here they got the range, and it s here the lonely say, which i don t pretend to understand at all
For the grace of god in the desert here, democracy is coming to the u.s.a Cohen, on the dock of the bay
