Oh Citizens United has divided us
Into those with voices and those who cannot speak
And it looks like corruption, like democracy disruption
And the end of it is what the people seek
Five justices with blood upon their hands
Have cast a curse upon our sacred land
They’ve killed our democracy, made of it a mockery
And fixing it is what we now demand
I guess the constitution isn’t clear enough
It’s people that the government should serve
Not banks and corporations, not legal abominations
Real people with skin and bones and nerves
Oh Citizens United has divided us
And put us back together don’t you see
For the effort to divide us, has lit the fire inside us
To stand up and defend democracy
Ken Dammand is the president of Fix Democracy First.
