The Second Amendment

(to Kermit the Frog's "Rainbow Connection")

Why are there so many

Guns, assault rifles

That send souls to other side?

Weapons are sacred

But is that illusion?

Are bullets sweet freedoms that fly?

What we’ve been told it’s our right to go horde ‘em

Steel barreled brawn we can keep

Logic defined by

The second amendment

The ammo

The triggers

We need

We thank the NRA

For freedoms we’re after

For sport and protection smart.

With bodies stacking up

The lobby will spin it

“People kill. Guns? No part.”

Guns for assaulting bring rabid exalting

And triggers bring glee when they squeeze

They cheer, “Protect it,

The second amendment

For country

For freedom

For me.”

Congressman, what is that smell?

We know it’s probably bullshit…

Ban all arms, not for me

But let’s curb our choices

Some think these Nazi-esque schemes

Big bangs are sweet sounds

Bring joy to old sportsmen

The same sounds that madmen will heed

We’ve seen towns weep, is this time to ignore them?

But nothing’s what we’re likely to see

Till then, endure it

The second amendment
The lovers

The haters

And me.
