The 9th Amendment

Lyrics

The 9th Amendment protects Unenumerated Rights

“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights,

shall not be construed to deny or disparage

others retained by the people.” Don’t be embarrassed

If you have no idea how “unenumerate” is defined,

We meant it like a catalogue. Every right’s itemized

So this Amendment attempts to protect rights unidentified

Like there’s other rights in life, right now they just don’t come to mind”

It might feel mystifying until you realize it 

Recognizes the inevitable mindset of tyrants is

To manipulate the rules to their best interests

Once we address our rights, any right not expressed

Will enable pretense for them to say, “if it’s not listed,

Then it’s lost.” We’d be restricted into submission 

from their twistin of the intention of the convention

Invest in collective interests and protect oppression
