These Are Your Rights

Back before 1789We had to make the constitution a lawBut I refused to sign on the lineUntil we had amended a flawA big oneSee, we just had a king who was crazy with powerWe fought a whole war to break freeI said"You want me to sign itWe've got to refine itSo it can't be used against me!Let's limit what this government can doAnd make sure it always works for me and you! "These are your rights!I wrote 'em down!So that you'll never bow downTo a crownThese are freedoms you have every dayBecause of the Bill of RightsNo one can take em away!Number ONE!We made a glorious messAnd gave the people freedom of speechWe also did the same for the pressAnd for all religions, you wanna preachThe SECOND amendment's the right to bear armsWhich were very different back in my dayToday's guns have led to a raging debateAnd everybody must have their sayNumber THREE - we all don't know so wellIt says soldiers cannot use our homes as their hotel!These are your rights!Hip hip hooray!They make the USA the USA!It's a good start but there's many moreWhat are we up to, THREE?Let's dive into FOUR!The cops can't enter your homeUnless they have a reason and a warrant to lookThey can't take away your stuff or tap your phoneIf they do they have to go by the bookEveryone's heard of pleading the fifthThey get that from amendment FIVEThe right to stay silent!Then there's due process, the right to a trialSIX and SEVEN keep justice aliveNumber EIGHT is a simple and serious ruleThat if you are punished it cannot be cruelMy favorite amendments NINE and TENSay all other rightsNot mentioned hereRevert to the people again!These are your rightsThey keep you freeThey keep our country a democracyPeople test them every day it's trueThat's where it comes to you!These are your rights!Learn what they are!They may not be perfect but they've worked so farIn a world that's changing every dayWe gotta keep up the fight!They're your Bill of Rights!Your Bill of Rights!Don't let 'em take 'em away
