Intro
The powers in our country
are shared a certain way
and even though
twas' long ago
the idea stays today
Chorus
Delegated from the national gov'
reserved for state
concurrent for both BRO
just don't hate!
Delegated Powers
The power of taxes, to levy and collect
so many decisions that they can affect
Reject/accept a bill in just a few hours
these all belong to the delegated powers
Chorus
(repeated)
Reserved Powers
Issue licenses, WOW! COOL!
also in charge of laws for school
lastly, public health "that's enough"
they're reserved powers, laws and stuff
Chorus
(repeated)
Concurrent Powers
"concurrent Powers, powers to be shared"
with a quill, James Madison declared
Power to build roads, to arrest people
In these decisions both levels are equal
Chorus
(repeated)
