Absurd
D F#m E
You would think the answer obvious
A D F#m
So obvious there would hardly be a need for the Court
E
To hear it
A D F#m E
The Court's interpretation...renders words inoperative, inoperative
A D F#m
Goes beyond giving words bizarre meanings
E
Words no longer have meaning
[Chorus]
F#m E A D
Understatement, thy name is an opinion on the Affordable Care Act
F#m E A D
I call attention to this Court's threat to American democracy, democracy
F#m E
Impossible possibility
A D
The world does not expect logic in poetry
F#m
Same-sex marriage
E
I dissent

Jiggery-pokery
A E
Buried beneath the mummeries

Ask the nearest hippie

The Court's reasoning is largely self-defeating
[Chorus]
F#m E A D
Understatement, thy name is an opinion on the Affordable Care Act
F#m E A D
I call attention to this Court's threat to American democracy, democracy
F#m E
Impossible possibility
A D
The world does not expect logic in poetry
F#m
Same-sex marriage
E
I dissent
E
Everything is am-- is ambiguous

Anything, anything but accidental

We should start calling this law SCOTUScare
[vocalizing]
A D F#m E A
I dissent, I dissent
