Amendment Song Lyrics

Amendment Song lyrics

Boy: Hey, who left all this garbage on the steps of Congress?

Amendment: I'm not garbage, kid.



I'm an amendment to be

Yes an amendment to be

And I'm hoping that they ratify me

There's a lot of flag burners

Who have got too much freedom

I wanna make it legal for policemen

To beat 'em 'cause there's limits to our liberty

At least I hope and pray that there are

'Cause those liberal freaks go too far



Boy: But why can't we just make a law against flag burning?

Amendment: Because that law would be unconstitutional

But if we CHANGED the Constitution...

Boy: Then we could make all sorts of crazy laws!

Amendment: Now you're catching on!



Bart: What the hell is this?

Lisa: It's one of those campy 70s throwbacks that appeal to Generation X-ers

Bart: We need another Vietnam. Thin out their ranks a little.



Boy: But what if people say you're not good enough to be in the
Constitution?

Amendment: Then I"ll crush all opposition to me

And I'll make Ted Kennedy pay

If he fights back

I'll say that he's gay

Congressman: Good news, Amendment! They ratified you.

You're in the U.S. Constitution!

Amendment: Oh yeah! Door's open, boys!



(sounds of gun and bomb-toting amendments running into the Capitol)
