[00:19]Its coming through a hole in the air,
[00:23]from those nights in Tiananmen Square.
[00:28]Its coming from the feel
[00:30]that this aint exactly real,
[00:33]or its real, but it aint exactly there.
[00:38]From the wars against disorder,
[00:40]from the sirens night and day,
[00:43]from the fires of the homeless,
[00:45]from the ashes of the gay:
[00:48]Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
[00:54]
[01:12]Its coming through a crack in the wall;
[01:17]on a visionary flood of alcohol;
[01:21]from the staggering account
[01:25]of the Sermon on the Mount
[01:27]which I dont pretend to understand at all.
[01:31]Its coming from the silence
[01:34]on the dock of the bay,
[01:36]from the brave, the bold, the battered
[01:39]heart of Chevrolet:
[01:41]Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
[01:47]
[02:06]Its coming from the sorrow in the street,
[02:10]the holy places where the races meet;
[02:14]from the homicidal bitchin
[02:17]that goes down in every kitchen
[02:20]to determine who will serve and who will eat.
[02:25]From the wells of disappointment
[02:28]where the women kneel to pray
[02:30]for the grace of God in the desert here
[02:33]and the desert far away:
[02:35]Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
[02:41]
[02:58]Sail on, sail on
[03:04]O mighty Ship of State!
[03:09]To the Shores of Need
[03:11]Past the Reefs of Greed
[03:13]Through the Squalls of Hate
[03:18]Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.
[03:28]
[03:35]Its coming to America first,
[03:40]the cradle of the best and of the worst.
[03:45]Its here they got the range
[03:47]and the machinery for change
[03:50]and its here they got the spiritual thirst.
[03:55]Its here the familys broken
[03:57]and its here the lonely say
[03:59]that the heart has got to open
[04:02]in a fundamental way:
[04:04]Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
[04:10]
[04:28]Its coming from the women and the men.
[04:33]O baby, well be making love again.
[04:39]Well be going down so deep
[04:41]the rivers going to weep,
[04:43]and the mountains going to shout Amen!
[04:48]Its coming like the tidal flood
[04:52]beneath the lunar sway,
[04:54]imperial, mysterious,
[04:56]in amorous array:
[04:58]Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
[05:05]
[05:22]Sail on, sail on
[05:28]O mighty Ship of State!
[05:32]To the Shores of Need
[05:34]Past the Reefs of Greed
[05:36]Through the Squalls of Hate
[05:41]Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.
[05:52]
[05:58]Im sentimental, if you know what I mean
[06:04]I love the country but I cant stand the scene.
[06:09]And Im neither left or right
[06:11]Im just staying home tonight,
[06:13]getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
[06:18]But Im stubborn as those garbage bags
[06:21]that Time cannot decay,
[06:23]Im junk but Im still holding up
[06:25]this little wild bouquet:
[06:29]Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
