CR of 1964


Passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Gender, religious, and ethnic disparities we say no more No bounds to voting in the land of the free Except age requirements by lawful decree Vote for Sam I am if you see fit If you want to see your vote wasted go ahead and submit With this brand new piece of legislation Say goodbye to the far prolonged segregation I can pee in pretty much every stall I see Provided it’s working naturally I can lay in the public grass, jump, play and run In the great land of America, there is only one With now boundless opportunities for us today There is only one thing left to say As the star bound American I was born to be I can gladly say that I am free
