"Chicken Fried" Bill of Rights: 1st through 5th
Lyrics by Sean Healey
You know we all have certain rights
They’re guaranteed in black and white
10 amendments make the Bill of Rights
And our freedoms go on
The first amendment protects you freedom of speech and mine
and don’t you know
worship, assembly, and press are fine
as the freedoms go
Amendment two is the right to own a gun
The third says soldiers can’t stay in your home for fun
And you know we all have certain rights
They’re guaranteed in black and white
10 amendments make the Bill of Rights
And our freedoms go on
Some said the Constitution was fine
Jefferson and Madison agreed this time
The rights of people had been ignored
They proposed some changes more
Some say it’s amendment four that protects our rights the most
Not where you live, what you drive, your toys or your clothes
There’s no searching thine if you mind, unless there’s reason to show
So if you agree, you’ll say it with me
It’s my right and not a boast
Cause we all have certain rights
They’re guaranteed in black and white
10 amendments make the Bill of Rights
And our freedoms go on
Some said the Constitution was fine
Jefferson and Madison agreed this time
The rights of people had been ignored
They proposed some changes more
I thank god for amendment five
You can’t be tried for the same crime twice
And you don’t have to testify, against yourself
And we have property rights
And those of liberty and life
It’s all about due process this time
And the list goes on
And we all have certain rights
They’re guaranteed in black and white
10 amendments make the Bill of Rights
And our freedoms go on
Some said the Constitution was fine
Jefferson and Madison agreed this time
The rights of people had been ignored
They proposed some changes more
