Democracy Lyrics
It's coming through a hole in the air,<br />
from those nights in Tiananmen Square.<br />
It's coming from the feel<br />
that this ain't exactly real,<br />
or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.<br />
>From the wars against disorder,<br />
from the sirens night and day,<br />
from the fires of the homeless,<br />
from the ashes of the gay:<br />
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. <br />
<br />
It's coming through a crack in the wall;<br />
on a visionary flood of alcohol;<br />
from the staggering account<br />
of the Sermon on the Mount<br />
which I don't pretend to understand at all.<br />
It's coming from the silence<br />
on the dock of the bay,<br />
from the brave, the bold, the battered<br />
heart of Chevrolet:<br />
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. <br />
<br />
It's coming from the sorrow in the street,<br />
the holy places where the races meet;<br />
from the homicidal bitchin'<br />
that goes down in every kitchen<br />
to determine who will serve and who will eat.<br />
>From the wells of disappointment<br />
where the women kneel to pray<br />
for the grace of God in the desert here<br />
and the desert far away:<br />
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. <br />
<br />
Sail on, sail on<br />
O mighty Ship of State!<br />
To the Shores of Need<br />
Past the Reefs of Greed<br />
Through the Squalls of Hate<br />
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on. <br />

<br />
It's coming to America first,<br />
the cradle of the best and of the worst.<br />
It's here they got the range<br />
and the machinery for change<br />
and it's here they got the spiritual thirst.<br />
It's here the family's broken<br />
and it's here the lonely say<br />
that the heart has got to open<br />
in a fundamental way:<br />
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A. <br />
<br />
It's coming from the women and the men.<br />
O baby, we'll be making love again.<br />
We'll be going d
