(to the music for Schoolhouse Rock's "I'm Just a Bill")
I'm just a Law
Yes that's right I'm a Law
But that don't stand what
it used to stand for
Well I was passed by the Senate
the House of Reps too
And the President he signed me
just like he's supposed to do
And the Constitution says I'm a Law
but the GOP hardliners went
and shut down Government
cause their bent
I'm just a Law
Yes that's right I'm a Law
But that don't stand what
it used to stand for
Well I was challenged by the States
and I had to stand
and be confirmed by
the highest Court in the land
The Supremes are cool that I'm a Law
but the GOP hardliners went
and shut down Government
cause their bent
I'm just a Law
Yes I'm really a Law
But that don't stand what
it used to stand for
Well back last Fall
we had an election
And everyone said
it was a referendum
And the final polling wasn't close
and the GOP hardliners went
and shut down government
cause their bent
(voice over)
You'd think that all those people
with pocket Constitutions would
respect a duly appointed Law,
signed by the President,
reviewed by the Judiciary.
I been through all 3 branches.
I mean, c'mon, we had an election too.
What else I gotta do?
