[al:the future]
[00:19]it’s coming through a hole in the air,
[00:23]from those nights in tiananmen square.
[00:28]it’s coming from the feel
[00:30]that this ain’t exactly real,
[00:33]or it’s real, but it ain’t 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]it’s 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 don’t pretend to understand at all.
[01:31]it’s 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]it’s 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]it’s coming to america first,
[03:40]the cradle of the best and of the worst.
[03:45]it’s here they got the range
[03:47]and the machinery for change
[03:50]and it’s here they got the spiritual thirst.
[03:55]it’s here the family’s broken
[03:57]and it’s 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]it’s coming from the women and the men.
[04:33]o baby, we’ll be making love again.
[04:39]we’ll be going down so deep
[04:41]the river’s going to weep,
[04:43]and the mountain’s going to shout amen!
[04:48]it’s 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]i’m sentimental, if you know what i mean
[06:04]i love the country but i can’t stand the scene.
[06:09]and i’m neither left or right
[06:11]i’m just staying home tonight,
[06:13]getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
[06:18]but i’m stubborn as those garbage bags
[06:21]that time cannot decay,
[06:23]i’m junk but i’m still holding up
[06:25]this little wild bouquet:
[06:29]democracy is coming to the u.s.a.
[06:38]
