OT: Music Vid for the Weekend No.2: "Democracy"

is coming, from the desert of northern Africa through the desert of Middle East...to the U.S.A.

By Leonard Cohen.

...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.
