Lyrics for Democracy by Status Quo:
| | | Artist: | Status Quo |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Democracy | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 80 | | | | Lyrics: | It's coming through a hole in the air,
from those nights in Tiananmen Square.
It's coming
from the feel
that this ain't exactly real,
or it's real, but it ain't exactly
there.
>From the wars against disorder,
from the sirens night and day,
from the fires of
the homeless,
from the ashes of the gay:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's
coming through a crack in the wall;
on a visionary flood of alcohol;
from the staggering
account
of the Sermon on the Mount
which I don't pretend to understand at all.
It's
coming from the silence
on the dock of the bay,
from the brave, the bold, the
battered
heart of Chevrolet:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming from
the sorrow in the street,
the holy places where the races meet;
from the homicidal
bitchin'
that goes down in every kitchen
to determine who will serve and who will
eat.
>From the wells of disappointment
where the women kneel to pray
for the grace of
God in the desert here
and the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
Sail on, sail on
O mighty Ship of State!
To the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs
of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on.
It's
coming to America first,
the cradle of the best and of the worst.
It's here they got the
range
and the machinery for change
and it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
It's
here the family's broken
and it's here the lonely say
that the heart has got to open
in
a fundamental way:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
It's coming from the women and
the men.
O baby, we'll be making love again.
We'll be going d | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
