Our Anthem Awaits [1]

Seth Staton Watkins wrote and performed this song, ideal as our protest anthem.
If The People Unite
Can we play it?
I asked directly on Instagram, and got enthusiastic permission! Here's the receipts:
So stream away. Youtube has the setting to play on a continuous loop, I do believe. (And plays should boost Seth in the algorithm. Win-win-win!) Got a Bluetooth speaker? Find a power source and you can keep going longer.
Lyrics, you could print and hand out and get a sing-along going:
A seat forged from the echoes of falsehoods and lies.
The law bends and breaks as the ruler decides.
No throne, yet he'd reign with a scepter and pen,
The people subject to the will of one man.
[Chorus] 'cause nowhere is safe in this world of change.
Consent is manufactured through bigotry and rage,
So billionaires and fascists can rule without a fight,
But their will can be broken if the people unite!
An empire built on the backs of the poor,
Centuries of suffering as the profit margins soar.
Through violence, submission, and million dollar bribes,
Our government sold out to private enterprise.
[Chorus]
Through Christo-fascist fantasies of race and purity,
They condition the people to scorn humanity.
We abandon Ukraina to the Russian advance,
While we arm the Israelis as they burn the Levant.
[Chorus]
We need more than hope, we need people to rise.
No more denial or political lies.
In the wreckage and ruin the truth starts to show.
Our choices have led us to this world of woe.
[Chorus]
[END]
