It’s a perfectly good plan. Why won’t you anti-federalist just ratify this Constitution?

1. Well if I sign this, well I know you’re gonna be, you’re gonna be the one telling me how to pray,
And if I sign this, well I know you’ll take the right of free speech, and press and petition away,
2. If I sign this, well I know that you will not ,that you will not be able to leave my guns alone,
3. And if I sign this, I know trust you I cannot, I just cannot trust you won’t quarter in my home,

‘Cause I don’t trust your Constitution and I think it needs something more,
Like a Bill of Rights to stop the government from trying to take more,

4. If I sign this, yes I know you’re gonna search, you’re gonna seize me up without probable cause,
5. And if I sign this, you’ll make me self-incriminate, or be deprived without the due process of laws,
6. When I sign this (when I sign this), well I know that any trial, that trial I’m in will carry on for years,
7. And if I sign, well I know to say goodbye, to say goodbye to any jury of my peers,

‘Cause I don’t trust your Constitution and I think it needs something more,
Like a Bill of Rights to stop the government from trying to take more,
Just sign it! Won’t sign it!
Just sign it! Won’t sign it ’til a Bill of Rights is added to this plan!
Just sign it! Won’t sign it!
Just sign it! Won’t sign! Only then I’ll approve the Constitution.

8. If I sign this, well I know that you’ll be cruel, and unusual if you have to punish me,
9. And if I sign this, well I know you’re gonna say, you’re gonna say you’ve listed all my liberties,
10. And when I sign this, well I know you’re gonna think, you’re gonna think that unclaimed rights belong to you,
So I won’t sign this, and you’d better go create, go create something that protects us from you,
Go create something that protects us from you.

‘Cause I don’t trust your Constitution and I think it needs something more,
Like a Bill of Rights to stop the government from trying to take more,
Just sign it! Won’t sign it!
Just sign it! Won’t sign it ’til a Bill of Rights is added to this plan!
Just sign it! Won’t sign it!
Just sign it! Won’t sign! Only then I’ll approve the Constitution.

  1. Kantucky, I love both of these vids. you posted. We ended up on youtube seeing what all was available, and found one to post also. 🙂

  2. “Militias, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves and include all men capable of bearing arms. […] To preserve liberty it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.”
