Lyrics to Constitutional Convention Song: "Say No to the Con Con"
By Jeff Grossi (aka MC ZiLL)
INTRO:
On Election Day New Yorkers vote wisely to this question Shall there be a convention for constitution revisions
Vote no; it’s a $350 million
Dollar bash for the cast of politicians
REFRAIN:
So vote no, no to the Con Con Vote no, no to the Con Con x3
No convention for constitution revisions No $350 million dollar bash for politicians
So vote no, no to the Con Con Vote no, no to the Con Con
Say no to a constitutional convention
Give two thumbs down on this referendum question
So vote no, no to the Con Con Vote no, no to the Con Con
VERSE:
Say no to a constitutional convention
Such a very unnecessary deception
We don’t need a convention for constitution revisions No $350 million dollar bash for politicians
Here's an easier concept
Changes citizens want can be made through the normal legislative process Yes! Already we can change our constitution at will
We draft, discuss, then vote to approve the bill
Voting yes robs
Taxpayers pay delegates two salaries for the same jobs We don’t need a congress carbon copy
We need to increase the quality of life for everybody
Say no to a constitutional convention
If you snooze you’ll lose this important voting lesson They will schedule cuts like surgeries
Ruin public schools, colleges, universities
Gather together vote to protect our democracy
Our rights to free speech and to assemble peacefully Access to state parks, forests, and waterway connections Let's not lose our environmental protections
Expenses adding fast
Lose the economic protection of state debt limits and budget spending caps We will not let New York citizens collapse
We'll feel the full effects if we're not full of facts so
REFRAIN:
Vote no, no to the Con Con Vote no, no to the Con Con
No convention for constitution revisions No $350 million dollar bash for politicians
On Election Day New Yorkers vote wisely to this question Shall there be a convention for constitution revisions
Vote no; it’s a $350 million
Dollar bash for the cast of politicians
So vote no, no to the Con Con No, no to the Con Con x3
Vote no, no to the Con Con No, no to the Con Con x3
VOTE NO!
