Checks and Balances

(Check, check)

(Check, check)

(Check, check)

(Check)

Check one, check two

Check two, check three

Yeah, I'm checking you if you check me

Check one, check two

Check two, check three

Checks and balances

Two houses

The senate and the house of representatives

A hundred of us, four hundred thirty five of us

Our incentive is representing you, you

Every statе elects two of us

We'rе proportionally population based

There's a slew of us

Six-year terms, two-year terms

And various committees

Our concerns are your concerns

From all of your towns and cities

We debate national matters from every state

Bring the pen and pad and legislate

We read your letters

Let them affect us

If we're not effective

Don't reelect us

We work for you, you, you

We are the ones who make the laws

We collect taxes

Hold your applause

These are the aisles we reach across

All for you, you, you

We can amend the constitution

We can repeal amendments too

American evolution truly depends on you

True, true

The president can't declare war without us

Though their microphone's the loudest

Seperate powers

The congressional crowd is here for you

We work for you (We work for you)

Tell us what you wanna do (Tell us what you wanna do)

Bring the legislation through, yo (Bring the legislation through)

Check one, check two

Check two, check three

I'll check you if you check me

Check one, check two

Check two, check three

Checks and balances

I am the president

Which means I'm the elected resident of the White House

I'm commander of chief and head of state

I was elected as the executive

I'm expected to carry out the laws

With my cabinet to cooperate

I work for you, and please take notice

There's a power when you're POTUS

And a new law is created on Capitol Hill

I work for you and if I veto

That new bill will be finito

Unless they override, I decide

How to do the people's will

Check one, check two

Check two, check three

Yo, I'll check you if you check me

Check one, check two

Check two, check three

Checks and balthree

Oh, we are the Supremes

And we run this place

We dedicate out lives

To hear your landmark case

We evaluate and interpret

The laws of the land

And if they violate the Constitution

They will not stand

(We work for you) Lower federal courts

Act with firm resolution

Ruling on cased involving tax

Bankruptcy and the Constitution

(We work for you) We, the highest court

Hear those cases on appeal

And if five or more of us find against

The law they doth repeal

Check one

I'm the one who can work for legislation

But we can checkity-check that we run appropriation

The people look to me to provide a solution

We check if your solution upholds the Constitution

Check two

We're the nine who establish legal president

Check out who picks your next in line

Yes, it's the president

Checkity-check yourself

You need us to push them through

Check three, then we turn around and check you

Checks and balances
