The Simpsons - Day the Violence Died lyrics

Krusty: Well, Itchy and Scratchy are gone, but here's a cartoon that tries to make learning fun! Sorry about this, kids. But stay tuned. We've got some real good toy commercials coming right up. I swear. Boy: Say, who left all this garbage on the steps of Congress? Amendment-to-be: I'm not garbage. I'm an amendment to be. Yes, 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 'em. 'Cause there's limits to our liberties. 'Least I hope and pray that there are. 'Cause those liberal freaks go too far. Boy: But why can't we just make a lawagainst flag burning? Amendment-to-be: Because that law would be unconstitutional. But if we changethe Constitution... Boy: Then we could make all sorts of crazy laws. Amendment-to-be: Now you're catching on. Bart: What the hell is this? Lisa: It's one of those campy seventies throwbacks that appeals to generation x-ers. Bart: We need another Vietnam to thin out their ranks a little. Boy: But what if people say you're not good enough to be in the Constitution? Amendment-to-be: 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. Narrator: Good news, amendment. They ratified you. You're in the U.S. Constitution. Amendment-to-be: Oh, yeah! Door's open, boys! Lisa: So it's true. Some cartoons do encourage violence.
