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!
