about

The title of this song is a play on the court ruling around unlimited corporate donations in politics. I always found it counterintuitive that a decision referred to as "Citizens United" is something that has further disenfranchised everyday people in our current system. I think that no matter where you would place yourself on the political spectrum, we can all agree that there is too much money where our mouths should be.

Despite all of the madness around our most recent election, I think that it has served as a GIGANTIC wake up call for us. I've been especially encouraged by all of the young people creating new ways of living in greater harmony with each other and the world.

I recognize that citizens is a loaded word these days, under the thumb of an administration with zero respect for immigrants and refugees. I intend this word to mean we are all citizens of the earth, not people who owe allegiance to any particular government, and we can all find common ground on how to best live together.

lyrics

Billionaires buying time
selling fear to our minds
building walls and dividing sides
filling our airways and screens with lies

but we are awakening
we are seedlings pushing through the ground
we are awakening
with the morning birdsong, singing

We are citizens united
we will not let this hypocracy divide us
we are citizens united
we will not let this kleptocracy divide us
we are citizens united, citizens united

demand to keep our voices free
and don't put money where our mouths should be
'cause we are priceless we are not voiceless
when you try to sell our water and our forests
when you pepper spray our eyes
just because we're marching by
singing songs and carrying signs we're coming from every side

We are citizens united
we will not let this hypocracy divide us
we are citizens united
we will not let this kleptocracy divide us
we are citizens united, citizens united

gather 100,000 strong
we must begin even though much is wrong
demand to keep our voices free
and don't put money where our mouths should be
