grady tate - messin' with my bill of rights! lyrics

[verse 1]
now i’m a peaceful man, i do the best i can
and i don’t go picking fights
but there’s one dang thing that gets my dander up
when they start messin’ with my bill of rights!

yes, i’m a busy man, a good american
and i can’t chase fire or kites
but i’ll sure find time if i should hear of the crime
that they’ve been treading on the bill of rights

now when they’s first begun, they wrote the constitution
ratified in 1788
and then in ’91, with lots of work to be done
they wrote the first ten amendments that madе this country great

[chorus]
freedom of speech and freedom of the press
thе right to assemble and to redress our grievances
and the freedom of religion, oh yes, oh yes
privacy and freedom from search
and the right of trial by jury
and other rights to be reserved by the people, oh yes, oh yes

and i’ll be standing right there, and there’ll be plenty good fights
if they start messin’ with my bill of rights!
[verse 2]
it’s not just me, it’s you, we’ve got to see it through
that the lamp of freedom lights
we cannot be afraid to man the barricade
when they start cheating on our bill of rights

and when you lay your head upon your sleepig bed
just remember this advice
the price of libery’s eternal vigilance
keep an eye out for your bill of rights

[chorus]
freedom of speech and freedom of the press
the right to assemble and to redress our grievances
and the freedom of religion, oh yes, oh yes
privacy and freedom from search
and the right of trial by jury
and other rights to be reserved by the people, oh yes, oh yes

and i’ll be standing right there, and there’ll be plenty good fights
if they start messin’ with my bill of rights!

[verse 3]
now the british had their magna carta
and the colonies had their charter
but we got something that’s the talk of the world
and that brought us to the heights (hurray!)
it’s the constitution and the ten amendments
that they call the bill of rights
[reprise]
now i’m a peaceful man, i do the best i can
and i don’t go picking fights
but there’s one dang thing that gets my dander up
when they start messin’ with my bill of rights!

freedom of speech and freedom of the press
and freedom of religion, oh yes, oh yes

[outro]
take care
don’t let them cheat you on the bill of rights
beware, you
you, don’t go messin’ with my bill of rights!

amen
