[Flaw - Lest We Forget lyrics]
As Americans we have been given these rights
As a gift necessary to
Maintain our constitutional republic
The first amendment Freedom of religion
Speech and of the press
Congress shall make no law
Respecting an establishment of religion
Or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or
Abridging the freedom of speech
Or of the press, or the right
Of the people peaceably to assemble
And to petition the government for
A redress of grievances
The second amendment The right to bear arms
A well regulated militia, being necessary to
The security of a free state
The right of the people to
Keep and bear arms
Shall not be infringed
The third amendment The housing of soldiers
No soldier shall, in time of peace
Be quartered in any house without
The consent of the owner
Nor in time of war
But in a manner to be prescribed by law
The fourth amendment The protection from
Unreasonable searches and seizures
The right of the people to be secure
In their persons, houses
Papers, and effects
Against unreasonable searches and seizures
Shall not be violated
And no warrants shall issue but upon probable
Cause, supported by oath that or affirmation
And particularly describing the place
To be searched
And the persons or things be seized
The fifth amendment The protection of
Rights to life, liberty
And property
No person shall be held to answer for
A capital or otherwise infamous crime
A crime that is punishable
By death or imprisonment
Unless on a presentment or indictment
A formal, written charge
Of criminal misconduct
Presented to
A court of law by a grand jury
Of a grand jury
Except in cases arising in the
Land or naval forces or in the militia
When in actual service in time
Of war or public danger
Nor shall any person be subject
For the same offense
To be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb
Nor shall be compelled against himself
Nor shall be deprived of life, liberty, or
Property, without due process of law
Carried out according to the established
Law of the land
Nor shall private property be taken for
Public use without just compensation
The sixth amendment Rights of accused
Persons in criminal cases
In all criminal prosecutions
The accused shall enjoy the right to
A speedy and public trial
By an impartial jury of
The state and district
Wherein the crime shall have been committed
Which district shall have been
Previously ascertained by law
And to be informed of the nature
And cause of the accusation
To be confronted with the
Witnesses against him
To have compulsory process for obtaining
Witnesses in his favor
And to have the assistance of
Counsel for their defense
As a gift necessary to
Maintain our constitutional republic
