Spoken:
Boy:
Hey, who left all this garbage lying on the steps of Congress?
Amendment:
I'm not garbage.
Sung:
I'm an amendment to be
Yes, an amendment to be
And I'm hoping that they'll 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 liberties
'Least I hope and pray that there are
'Cause those liberal freaks go too far.
Spoken:
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!
Boy:
But what if they say you're not good enough to be in the Constitution?
Sung:
Amendment:
Then I'll destroy all opposition to me
And I'll make Ted Kennedy pay
If he fights back
I'll say that he's gay
Big Fat Guy: (running up)
Good news, Amendment! They ratified 'ya. You're in the U.S. Constitution!
Amendment:
Oh, yeah!
Door's open, boys!
