Kid:Hey, who left all this garbage on the steps of congress?

Amendment:I'm not garbage.

I'm an Amendment-to-Be,

Yes, an Amendment-to-Be,

And I'm hopin' 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.

'Cos there's limits to our liberties,

Least I hope and pray that there are,

'Cos those liberal freaks go too far.

Kid:Well, why can't we just make a law against flag burning?

Amendment:Because that law would be unconstitutional.

But if we change the Constitution—

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

Amendment:Now you're catching on.

Kid: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 ya! You're in the U.S. Constitution!

Amendment:Oh yeah! Doors open, boys!
