David Crosby has posted a new song, “Capitol“.

Crosby confirmed on Twitter he was working on “a new song about our shameful US. Congress” on January 10.

I think I am actually going to do this
New song about our shameful US. Congress
Going to mix it day after tomorrow
And post it here

— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) January 11, 2017

The song was mixed on January 11 and uploaded onto Soundcloud earlier today (January 13).

As promised, the song addresses corruption within the American Congress:

“They’ll ignore the Constitution and hide behind the scenes
Anything to stay a part of the machine
And you think to yourself, this is where it happens
They run the whole damn thing from here”
