smart songs - bill of rights lyrics

[hook (x2): shoeless jeff]
well the const-tution took days and nights
but the writers still had to go look at it twice
cus the states that reviewed it said
here’s some advice:
it should guarantee freedom
yeah that would be nice
so the founders said alright
wrote the bill of rights
yup, the first 10 amendments are the bill of rights
[verse 1: shoeless jeff]
number 1 says we can worship as we please;
we can have meetings, large -ssemblies;
we can write what we want
its called the freedom of press;
what we feel, we can say outloud;
we can express
[verse 2: scott free]
yes
concerned about securing your house and your farm
through amendment 2, you have the right to bear arms
in order to be free
do you get the picture?
each state has the right to from its own militia
[verse 3: shoeless jeff]
number 3 says no soldiers in homes
the government can’t just force you to loan
your own private house so their soldiers can sleep
especially not in times of peace
[verse 4: scott free]
the 4th amendment is sure to get applause
no searches or seizures without probable cause
but when there is belief that a crime has been done
a warrent can be warded (to) them to search someone
[verse 5: shoeless jeff]
then on to the 5th amendment
no need to tell the government things that can send you to jail;
you can not be accused of the same crime twice
that would put you in a double jeopardy
it’s not right!
[hook (x2): shoeless jeff]
oh, the const-tution took days and nights
but the writers still had to go look at it twice
cus the states that reviewed it said
here’s some advice:
it should guarantee freedom
yeah that would be nice
so the founders said alright
wrote the bill of rights
yup, the first 10 amdendments are the bill of rights
[verse 6: scott free]
number 6 gives 6 rights to the accused
like the right to know which law you might have abused;
it gives the right to a fair and public trial;
your own defense counsel
you know there’s no denial
[verse 7: shoeless jeff]
i’ll tell you 7, it’s simple, when the trial is civil
meaning that no one in the dispute is a criminal, you can ask for a jury
in these cases too
usually they’re over money
somebody wants to sue
[verse 8: scott free]
for the 8th amendment, we compliment our government, they won’t allow cruel or unusual punishment
face the judge’s hammer, and end up in the slammer
you won’t pay excessive bail, in any given manner
[verse 9: shoeless jeff]
the rights that we have says amendment 9
can not be confined to those written lines
just because the freedom isn’t here on this list
the government can not say “it does not exist”
[verse 10: scott free]
what was meant with the 10th was written
the government only has the power it was given
in order to be equal, power not listed in the const-tution shall be given to the people
[hook (x2): shoeless jeff]
oh, the const-tution took days and nights
but the writers still had to go look at it twice
cus the states that reviewed it said
here’s some advice:
it should guarantee freedom
yeah that would be nice
so the founders said alright
wrote the bill of rights
yup, the first 10 amendments are the bill of rights
[outro: shoeless jeff]
the bill of rights, the bill of right
yeah, the first 10 amendment are the bill of rights
the bill of rights, the bill of right
yeah, the first 10 amendment are the bill of rights
the bill of rights, the bill of right
yeah, the first 10 amendment are the bill of rights
the bill of rights
