Teach Me My Rights, John Ashcroft
(Sung to the tune "Tom Dooley" by The Kingston Trio)
Guest song parody by Alvin Dover, alvindover@hotmail.com

(long instrumental intro)
 
(Refrain:)
Teach me my rights, John Ashcroft.
Teach me your law sublime.
Shredding our Constitution.
"Justice" as you define.

Arrests made with no trial.
Squashing abortion rights.
Suicides now prevented.
"Terrorists" jailed for life.

Teach me my rights, John Ashcroft.
Teach me your law sublime.
Shredding our Constitution.
"Justice" as you define.

We now all live in
A totalitarian state.
Secret illegal entry.
Spying on the folks you hate.

Teach me my rights, John Ashcroft.
Teach me your law sublime.
Shredding our Constitution.
"Justice" as you define.

Teach me my rights, John Ashcroft.
Teach me your law sublime.
Shredding our Constitution.
"Justice" as you define.

Our rights aren't safe now.
Not even in my house.
Eavesdrop communications
Violate our Bill of Rights.

Teach me my rights, John Ashcroft.
Teach me your law sublime.
Shredding our Constitution.
"Justice" as you define.

Teach me my rights, John Ashcroft.
Teach me your law sublime.
Shredding our Constitution.
"Justice" as you define.

"Justice" as you define.
"Justice" as you define.
"Justice" as you define.

Here's another version: Our Rights Are Dead, John Ashcroft
