Trump shamelessly played #LeonardCohen's "Hallelujah" to his WH fireworks. Here's the people's reply: "#Democracy is coming to the USA."

#VoteBlue against #racism. #VoteBlue against #hate. #VoteBlue for #democracy. (thread: lyrics)

"From the war 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."

#LeonardCohen, "Democracy" (1992)

"It's coming from the sorrow in the street
The holy places where the races meet

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."

#LeonardCohen (1992)

"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"

"The heart has got to open
In a fundamental way
#Democracy is coming to the U.S.A."

#LeonardCohen 1992

"We'll be going down so deep
The river's going to weep
And the mountain's going to shout Amen!
It's coming like the tidal flood
Beneath the lunar sway
Imperial, mysterious
In amorous array
#Democracy is coming to the U.S.A."
