Sweet Carolene to "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses

Footnote Four always seemed to me
The basis of stricter scrutiny
And everything that's good
About our constitutional rights
Now and then, when I read that case
It saves me from listening in Reg State
But if I focus too hard
I'd probably have to read it right

Oh, oh Sweet Carolene
Oh, oh Sweet Carolene

Though the Filled Milk Act passed with ease
The Justice thought ahead
And so Stone's footnote guarantees
That laissez-faire is dead
The footnote protects fundamental rights
And the political process
And discrete and insular minorities
Are equal like the rest

Oh, oh Sweet Carolene
Oh, oh Sweet Carolene

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Sweet case, sweet Carolene!
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh
As the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Sweet child, sweet child o' mine!
