This is one of Cohen's most moving and thought-provoking songs. It is taken from his 2004 album 'Dear Heather'. Here are the words: Some people say It's what we deserve For sins against g-d For crimes in the world I wouldn't know I'm just holding the fort Since that day They wounded New York Some people say They hate us of old Our women unveiled Our slaves and our gold I wouldn't know I'm just holding the fort But answer me this I won't take you to court Did you go crazy Or did you report On that day On that day They wounded New York
