Democracy

Lyrics

[Hillary] I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know Better than you I know, I know, I know, I know, I know This much is true So many times it's left me battered and bruised Disillusioned, in pain, feeling I've been used I swear I'll give it up, before it downright kills me Then it comes back again, with promises that thrill me And I forget what I really should know And I forget that it's just a big, big show And I dream, oh I dream, of all it could be And once more, I believe, I believe, I believe In democracy Oooh, democracy Democracy It's broken my heart so many times before But this one was the worst Left me screamin' on the floor I was taught in the land of the free In the land where they screamed at me "Life! Liberty!" How can I turn my back On democracy? Am I still in pain, suffering from trauma? Am I insane, addicted to drama? Oh, oh, oh! And I forget what I really should know I forget that it's just a big, big show And I dream that my people can be They can be wise enough, just enough Worthy of trust enough, kind enough, smart enough With a big heart enough Good and grown-up enough To lift us up, lift us up, lift us up, lift us up! And I dream They can be somehow worthy of— Look, this country's a disaster In so many ways But we have the power We have the power We have the power to change That's why I believe in— I know, I know, I know, I know I believe, oh I believe I believe in Democracy
