Hey, who left all this garbage on the steps of Congress?
[Amendment]
I'm not garbage
(starts singing)
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 want to make it legal
For policemen to beat'em
'Cause there's limits to our liberties
At least I hope and pray that there are
'Cause those liberal freaks go too far
(spoken)
[Kid]
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...
[Kid]
Then we could make all sorts of crazy laws!
