Day 1348, Power in the Courts  (1) 

 

Would you be free of democracy’s will?

There’s power in the courts, power in the courts.

Would you be rid of each liberal bill?

There’s wonderful power in the courts.

 

There is power, power, wonder working power

In the judges and courts.

There is power, power, overruling power

When right wingers rule all the courts.

 

Would you be free of Obamacare’s curse?

There’s power in the courts, power in the courts.

We can make health care for poor people worse.

There is wonderful power in the courts.

 

There is power, power, wonder working power

In the judges and courts.

There is power, power, overturning power

With the liberals off of the courts.

Would you be free of the Roe v Wade stain?

There’s power in the courts, power in the courts.

Let courts decide and let women complain.

There is wonderful power in the courts.

 

There is power, power, wonder working power

When we sue in the courts.

There is power, power, nullifying power

When right wingers rule all the courts.

 

In vote after vote we go down to defeat.

There’s power in the courts, power in the courts.

We’ll still hold power; there’s no need to retreat.

They’ll nullify votes in the courts.

 

There is power, power, wonder working power

When we let judges rule.

There is power, power, cancellation power

Cancel votes, and let white men rule.
