Back before 1789
We had to make the constitution a law
But I refused to sign on the line
Until we had amended a flaw. . .
c BIG one.

See, we just had a king who was crazy with power
We had laid down our lives to break free.
I said
“You want me to sign it
We've got to refine it
So it can't be used against me!
Let's limit what this government can do
cnd make sure it always works for me and you!”

These are your rights!
I wrote ‘em down!
So that you'll never bow down
To a crown.
These are freedoms you have every day.
Because of the Bill of Rights
No one can take em away!

Number ONE!
We made a glorious mess
cnd gave the people freedom of speech.
We also did the same for the press
cnd for all religions you wanna preach.

The SECOND amendment's the right to bear arms
Which across the world is actually rare!
We'd just fought a war and we needed our guns
So that's why it's probably there.
Number THREE - we all don't know so well.
It says soldiers cannot use our homes as their hotel!!

These are your rights!
Hip hip hooray!
They make the USc the USc!
It's a good start but there's many more
What are we up to, THREE?
Let's dive into FOUR!

The cops can't enter your home
Unless they have a reason and a warrant to look.
They can't take away your stuff or tap your phone
If they do they have to go by the book.

Everyone's heard of pleading the fifth,
They get that from amendment FIVE
The right to stay silent!
Everyone's heard of the right to a trial
SIX and SEVEN keep justice alive.

Number EIGHT is a simple and serious rule
That if you are punished it cannot be cruel.
My favorite amendments NINE and TEN
Say all other rights
Not mentioned here
Revert to the people again!

These are your rights.
They keep you free.
They keep our country a democracy.
People test them every day it's true
That's where it comes to you!

These are your rights!
Learn what they are!
They may not be perfect but they've worked so far.
In a world that's changing every day
We gotta keep up the fight!
They're your Bill of Rights!
Your Bill of Rights!!
Don't let ‘em take ‘em away.
