Cohen, Leonard - Democracy Lyrics

Ինչու՞ դեմոկրատիա։
Ինչպե՞ս են փորձում մանիպուլացնել մեզ։

#Դեմոկրատիա #Կացին # Democracy

He got out just in time .

The truly great Leonard Cohen

Democracy can work much better for everyone by improving upon its institutional design. www.andybilik.com

El 20 % de apátridas vendidos al terrorismo neo-liberal, dominan el continente americano con las manos manchada de sangre de los indígenas que defienden sus derechos ancestrales. Los traidores solo quieren vivir del saqueo de las riquezas de ese continente a costa de masacrar a los verdaderos dueños de sus tierras. Hay que hacerles volver a sus países y si no lo desean hay que darles la "medicina" que ellos les están dando a los indígenas hace 200 años.

Listening to this on the eve of what I fear may be the last truly democratic election in my country for a long time. I've always drawn on Leonard Cohen's music to give me hope and courage. I will need that push more than ever tomorrow as I go out from 7am making sure as many people who want to vote actually do so as I possibly can.

Hope he's correct.

Forgive me but I prefer The Lumineer's cover of this song.

You have no music quality.... if, you prefer The Lumineer's cover of this song.

You DOPE

@Kriss Kross ok elite

Una canzone stupenda!!!fondamentale per i nostri tempi!!!grazie Leonard!!

"I'm stubborn as those garbage bags/That time cannot decay/I'm junk but I'm still holding up/This little wild bouquet". Absolute genius.

Democracy is like a curse that made millions die in 20th century till today. USA is spreading democracy throughout whole world killing people but democracy is not coming to the USA, no sir.

Society does not know that the democratic system is genetic. Society does not know that the sources of democracy are the needs of self-realization. All of five these needs form a democratic
1. science
2, art
3 sport
4, selfgrowth
5. self-determination /Athens system/
Democracy is the complet of theese needs, not one of them - self-determination. Without 1,2,3,4 needs, don't exist 5'th need. Learn more about social systems- https://www.academia.edu/38981400/ON_THE_ORIGIN_OF_SOCIAL_SYSTEMS

We are NOT a democracy, Leonard! We are a constitutional Republic. Please, read the constitution.

Notice that he didn't blow out the flame with his breath,using his hand.Now; using the hand might possibly burn the fingers. Torah says not to blow out a flame.Rabbi Kanievsky"
There's an angel whose name is the same as the sound produced when you blow out with force. According to Kabbalistic tradition, it's improper to make use of the names of holy angels. Many people, therefore, extinguish candles by hand in order not to pronounce the name of this angel."
Another explanation: The Torah depicts man's soul as being a 'breath' from Hashem (G-d). The soul is also compared to a flame. Using your breath to blow out a candle is an ironic gesture, using one 'soul' to extinguish another.

Like Bill Cooper said, he is telling u the things that are happening today. We are a republic, not a democracy. Democracy is code for socialism hence all these idiots trying to bring socialism to this country. He was a puppet of the new world order if anyone figured that out yet.

Does Trump know the meaning of the word?

Just voted in Canada's federal election, democracy is a joke.

Democracy is coming one way or another.

I adore that at 1:14 he is pictured with a rhyming dictionary... Leonard needs no dictionary rhyming or otherwise... He knows all the words.

the real form of Government in USA is not Democracy, it is Oligarchy and Plutocracy

5:58 is my favorite part I get goosebumps Everytime it plays

The Lumineers brought me here

Should become the new national anthem

Great lyrics, The Lumineers cover did this song great justice.

DEMOCRACY IS COMING TO THE U.S.A

1. Presidential term limits will be abolished
2. Election Day will be made into a national holiday

3. The Electoral College Will Be Abolished and the United States of America will become a true democracy

4. No more delegates, no more superdelegates
5. The Circumcision Of Minors Will Be Banned Federally
6. Medical Marijuana Will Be Legalized Federally
7. Recreational Marijuana Will Be Legalized Federally

Anyone here from the Lumineers?

Did The Lumineers bring anyone else here?

Yeah. And I'm coming back to them right now. kkkkk

"Democracy is coming, to the USA!!!!!" This is just what I needed to hear to buoy my spirits today. :-)

They can only give the Nobel prize to a live author. Leonard Cohen had already passed away when they decided to give it to a song writer.

Everyone in the good old USA should listen to this.......the late great USA. Heil Trump!!!

What a coincidence that he would pass away a day before a narcissist started to unhinge a free press and so much more harm to the great United States.

“I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight
Getting lost in that hopeless little screen”

Мне он нравится до ужаса))мой типаж)))

Just great.

thank you mr. cohen

God bless Leonard cohen,
with his song Democracy.
I listen to it and laugh and smile.
If only he could see what's happening to our poor beloved Great Britain.

Always been a bit jealous of how he could attract beautiful women

VOTE BERNIE!

Does anyone know the harmonica tabs for this? I can’t find it anywhere online

Para sempre , eterno Leonard, que injustiça a não atribuição do Nobel Prize.

Um desejo : democracia está a chegar ... a Portugal? ao Mundo?

Maybe he did see the future who knows

Listen to Leonard Cohen democracy is coming make a lot of sense and listen to the Future it makes a lot of sense think about it

Maybe not, due to the orange turd.

A great song with great words and video. Maybe the USA President should listen!!!

In other words, SOCIALISM is coming to the U.S.A...

Lyor Cohen > Leonard Cohen

Who is here because of the new trailer from Mr. Robot?

Listing to Cohen never ceases to bring me JOY...are you doing your thing on the other side Leonard...

YAY!!! Mob rules!!!!!!

HANDS OFF VENEZUELA!

Democracy equals 51% rule over other 49%!

Now more then ever!!

when theocracy burns.

great allegory of American democracy i love the refence to tiannamen square if Chinese students had their way china would be a democracy there would be now ar with Taiwan and hong kong macau will be one country one system

Anyone here because of the Hour of the time? Or Bill Cooper?

Iran Iran Iran

AS EVER -NEC PLURIBUS IMPAR - BLESS HIS WARM AGUS EMBRACING SPIRIT FOREVER! :-)

Very good, but Democracy is a lie, especially in America, which is meant to be a Republic. When he says Democracy is coming, he's talking about now, which funnily enough, is lead by his tribe.

What's the name of the painting? I'm trying to find it online

DEMOCRACY REALLY IS COMING #2020🎈🎈🎈

Theres only ONE Leonard Cohen, and no one comes close to the voice and sound he has. Just absolutely love him!

Goosebumps upon Goosebumps

Facism is sweeping the dust off now

Yeah and what a mess
"democracy" has made of America
and what twisted nest
it's made of our minds
Just look at the increase..
In our democracy of crime.
And no one really knows anymore....
How to go back to the land we loved before....
Now that everything inside our borders for democracy
we've lost nearly all sense of civility and order.

So cheer all you want for the biggest lie that's ever been told since Greece,
If you don't want this democracy we will bomb you till you beg to make it cease...
Yes democracy it seems is the way to wage war in the very name of peace...

Am I the only one who can't wait until we drive this trojan with and all its hiders and riders straight back into the pits of hell
...where the headquarters of democracy must dwell.
Oh how I pray every day.... for the great USA
to break the democracy spell.

He is still a life.

As much as i love Leonard Cohen as a prophet in spiritual matters -and he should not be dismissed here either -the USA has never been a Democracy. It was never intended as democracy. It is a Constitutional Republic. If (& when) She slips into "democracy" she is on her spiral in to tyranny. And the USA outside the framework of a Constitutional Republic will be magnificently more dangerous than Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, or even our current contender, China. Woe to the planet when that actually happens!

His early music is beautiful beyond belief obviously. But his later tunes really get me. I listen to this song, Everybody Knows, The Miracle, and First We Take Manhattan pretty much every day.

Of course done brilliantly, taking the tiss out of you all lol !

Lord I pray...

Good God this guy sucks. Worst "musician" ever

You are the best Leonard.
Was Leonard a leftie?

I can taste the freedom

U.S. politics + NATO = murder, aggression, terrorism in the world.
Today USA
Media dictator = USA

This man is a true prophet.

Cradle of the best and worst, i'll take a wild swing here and say the second choice in the current climate !

America is a republic not a democracy.

Still waiting!

"And its here theyve got the spiritual thirst." I wish that were more true today.

Am I the only one that finds it hilarious that a song as patriotic and American as this was written by a Canadian guy?
R.I.P. Leonard Cohen
You will always be my favorite artist.

this is the 1000th comment

Song for. Today

Democracy is not by the police for the police of the police....neither is this a communist agenda

Sail on, sail on
O mighty Ship of State
To the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate

Jefferson said that to keep a democracy honest ther has to be a revolution every 100 to 125 years! I think we are fucked

Cohen at his greatest... RIP Thank you for the pleasure your music has given me since I discovered it in 1971

How hopeful the nineties were!

Voz de veludo. Som melífluo. Música aconchegante. Maravilha.

Magnifique Chanson et Musique. ainsi que la Vidéo Vous Aviez un Belle Âme Vos Chansons m appaisent ainsi que vous car vous êtes un Personnage

The Supreme Court of India quoted this song in its historical judgment to decriminalise homosexuality. :)

Didn't listen to Leonard enough. Fortunately I can continue to. Thank You Leonard for your wonderful poetry.

NO,SOCIALISM IS COMING, SUCH A SHAME!! B

Donald Trump.

Such a great talent,RIP

I discoverd him from natural born killers but now am a true fan and am deep ENOUGH to appreciate his genius wish I got a chance to see him live like I did Neil diamonds

There's no real democracy under capitalism, no democracy without economic democracy. Read Kropotkin, or even Marx.

we need you now leonard

Democracy is leaving the USA, because of a fascist in the oval office. Cohen died the day trump was elected, but his voice will not be silenced, and patriots will fight for democracy every way we can.

Well, Democracy was part of the USA for awhile, but now it is quickly being eradicated by the Trump administration.

Je ne me lasse pas de l écouter.
Merci

I can't tell if he's being sincere, sarcastic or both.
But it's hauntingly elegant, even to someone who isn't from America.

Both, of course. That's what makes it so good.

Leonard has a really great quote about that. "I was not unaware of the ironic impact of saying, ‘Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.,’ but the song is affirmative. I just can’t keep my tongue in my cheek that long."
One of my absolute favorites of his.

There's also some really wonderful verses that he removed because he "didn't want to start a fight" that were definitely more sarcastic.

"Who really gets to profit and who really gets to pay?
Who really rides the slavery ship right into Charleston Bay?
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A."

This was once ironic & with luck will be once again. But right now the refrain, at least, is dead wrong. Still a great song. Sail on, Leonard.
