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)
