Status Quo - Democracy 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.

  • It's here they got the range

  • 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:
