A bill
Rock folksongLyrics
(Verse 1)
In the big white building on Capitol Hill,
Where laws are made and the air is still,
There's a process that's quite complex,
But let me break it down in a simple text.
(Chorus)
First it starts with an idea, a bill is born,
It's introduced in Congress, it's time to perform,
It goes through committees, gets debated and changed,
Until finally, a vote is arranged.
(Verse 2)
The bill must pass both the House and the Senate,
For it to become law, it must be definite,
If there are differences, they must be resolved,
To make sure the bill gets approved and solved.
(Chorus)
First it starts with an idea, a bill is born,
It's introduced in Congress, it's time to perform,
It goes through committees, gets debated and changed,
Until finally, a vote is arranged.
(Bridge)
Once the bill is approved by both houses,
It goes to the President, who espouses,
To sign it into law or veto it away,
And that's how a bill becomes law, hooray!
(Chorus)
First it starts with an idea, a bill is born,
It's introduced in Congress, it's time to perform,
It goes through committees, gets debated and changed,
Until finally, a vote is arranged.
(Outro)
So next time you hear about a bill being passed,
Remember the process, it's not done fast,
It takes time and effort from all involved,
But that's how laws are made, problem solved!
