Leonard Cohen - Democracy
A reflection on the elusive and complex nature of democracy, inspired by the events of Tiananmen Square and the feeling that its reality is uncertain or incomplete.
About this video
It's coming through a hole in the air,
from those nights in Tiananmen Square.
It's coming from the feel
that it 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.
