You say you love the constitution.
You should know Article 2 isn’t absolute.
Check and balance dissolution.
You should know Article One isn’t moot.
If you destroy departments
Congress legally approved.
You should know that isn’t right
Not right, Not right.
Deporting migrant kids born here
You should know
About Amendment Fourteen.
This is meant to instill fear.
You sure know How to wreck the migrant’s dream.
When you impound aid to the poor
While you plan your Greenland war.
You should know that isn’t right
Not right.. Not right.
You say you can ignore court orders
You should know If you lose you must abide.
You pledged to protect the borders
Well, you should know. The law serves us who live inside.
But if you delegate to Chairman Musk
You reduce our rights to a husk.
You should know that isn’t right
Not right. Not right.
