Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer
You there.
Daily Kos in your stare.
I say, you there.
Dixie Chicks on the air.
I say, you there.
watchin’ Stephen Colbert:
From those views
the news looks awful.
You there.
there's a place you should see.
I say one where,
there’s a race to stay free.
You say, how rare
to embrace liberty?
Don’t just muse.
go use what’s lawful.
It's what they do at the ACLU.
It's what they do at the ACLU.
With the will and the skill
for the riskiest fights,
In fulfillin’ the Bill of Rights.
It's what they do at the ACLU.
It's what they do at the ACLU.
Workin’ hard to protect, or perfect,
or correct,
Constitutional full respect!
Unfair
are you findin' the vote?
And a nightmare
what some lower court wrote?
And hey, school prayer:
does it stick in your throat?
Then stand by
the growing chorus:
Declare
what America’s for.
We must prepare.
but stay true to our core.
We must beware
that a scare can obscure
All the ideals
going for us.
It's what they do at the ACLU.
It's what they do at the ACLU.
With the will and the skill
for the riskiest fights,
In fulfillin’ the Bill of Rights.
It's what they do at the ACLU.
It's what they do at the ACLU.
Workin’ hard to protect, or perfect,
or correct,
Constitutional full respect!
You there, wiretappin' today.
You who ensnare for kidnappin' away.
And you who swear every zappin' OK.
Your behavior grave in bleakness --
Out there
bad guys are perilous.
And yes, they dare
to be disasterous.
But we must care
when the bad guys are us.
Be brave
to save
our uniqueness.
It's what they do at the ACLU.
It's what they do at the ACLU.
With the will and the skill
for the riskiest fights,
In fulfillin’ the Bill of Rights.
ACLU.
It's what they do at the ACLU.
Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Buddhist and Jew.
Yellow and black.
brown and red, white and blue.
ACLU.
It's what they do at the ACLU.
Muslim, Hindu.
Christian, Buddhist and Jew.
Yellow and black.
brown and red, white and blue.
