I'm Just A Bill



I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law some day
At least I hope and pray that I will
But today I am still just a bill.

This is an Agonist public service announcement because obviously Congress and the President both need a refresher course.

Next week, Conjunction Junction.

Even though this is sort of the result of a mistake, wow. Just wow. Are you kidding me? Just follow the law? Dems stand to make a bit of hay from this.

Some school-house rock looking boy: Hey, who left all this garbage on the steps of Congress?
The amendment: I'm not garbage

I'm an amendment to be, I said an amendment to be
And I'm hoping that they'll ratify me
There's a lot of flag burners who have got too much freedom
I want to make it legal for policemen to beat them
Cuz there's limits to our liberties
At least I hope and pray that there are
Cuz those liberal freaks go too far

School-house rock boy: But why can't we just make a law against flag burning?
The amendment: Because that law would be unconstitutional. But if we change the constitution ...
School-house rock boy: ... then we could make all sorts of crazy laws!
The amendment: Now you're catching on
School-house rock boy: What if people say you are not good enough to be in the constitution?
The amendment:
Then I'll crush all opposition to me
And I'll make Ted Kennedy pay
If he fights back, I'll say that he's gay

Some announcer guy: Good news amendment! They ratified you! You're in the US Constitution

The amendment: Oh yeah! Door's open boys!
(and a bunch of other amendments run into Congress)
