《Democracy》歌词

[00:00:00] Democracy - Leonard Cohen

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

[00:00:24] From those nights

[00:00:25] In Tiananmen Square

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:22] From the staggering account

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

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

[00:01:28] To understand at all

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

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

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

[00:01:39] Heart of Chevrolet:

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:22] And who will eat

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:59] Sail on sail on

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:43] And of the worst

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:45] To shout Amen

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

[00:04:51] Beneath the lunar sway

[00:04:53] Imperial mysterious

[00:04:56] In amorous array:

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

[00:05:22] Sail on sail on

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

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

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

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

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

[00:05:59] I'm sentimental

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

[00:06:03] I love the country

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

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

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

[00:06:13] Getting lost in

[00:06:15] That hopeless little screen

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

[00:06:20] As those garbage bags

[00:06:21] That Time cannot decay

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

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

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

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