Justice Scalias Dissenting Opinions

A D F#m E

[Verse 1]
A
   Absurd
          D         F#m    E
You would think the answer obvious
A                        D       
   So obvious there would hardly 
                 F#m
be a need for the Court
   E
To hear it
A            
   The Court's 
         D                    
interpretation...renders words 
    F#m          E
inoperative, inoperative
A             D                   
   Goes beyond giving words 
 F#m
bizarre meanings
         E
Words no longer have meaning

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

A D F#m E

[Verse 2]
Bm
   Pure applesauce
D
Jiggery-pokery
A                     E
   Buried beneath the   mummeries
Bm
   Silly extravagances
D
   Showy profundities
A                      E
   Ask the nearest hippie
E
The Court's reasoning is largely 
self-defeating

[Chorus]
F#m                    E         
   Understatement, thy name is an
                A          D
 opinion on the Affordable Care Act
F#m                    E         
   I call attention to this 
                      A   
Court's threat to American 
       D
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

[vocalizing]
A D F#m E

[Verse 3]
A                 D
   Defense of the indefensible
F#m        E
I dissent
      A         D   F#m
Not a novelty
E                      A           D
Anything, anything but accidental
F#m                             E
   We should start calling this law 
SCOTUScare

[vocalizing]
A   D   F#m     E     A
      I dissent, I dissent
