The trailer for the third season of Mr. Robot uses a poem by the late Leonard Cohen.
The Canadian icon’s spoken word version of “Democracy,” a song from his 1992 album The Future, is put to use in the teaser for the upcoming season of the drama starring Rami Malik.
“It’s coming to America first / The cradle of the best and of the worst / It’s here they got the range / And the machinery for change.
“Democracy is coming to the USA.”
Cohen died last November at 82.
Folk singer Judy Collins recorded a musical version of “Democracy” in 2004 and author Neil Gaiman recited the poem in support of PEN America in 2016.
