The Amendment Song[edit]
- Kid:
- Hey, who left all this garbage on the steps of congress?
- Amendment To Be:
- 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:
- 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.
- Bart:
- What the hell is this?
- Lisa:
- It's one of those campy '70s throwbacks that appeals to Generation X-ers.
- Bart:
- We need another Vietnam, then out their ranks a little.
- 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:
- Great news, Amendment! They ratified ya! You're in the U.S. Constitution!
- Amendment:
- Oh yeah! Doors open, boys!
- [various amendments storm the steps of congress whooping, cheering and bringing guns and bombs]
- Lisa:
- So it's true! Some cartoons do encourage violence! [hits Bart]
- Bart:
- Ow!
