Holy crap! Gladstone's "A Piece of Paper" -- a controversial almost-hit from '71 that I haven't heard in ages.
In order to form a more perfect union
A man and a woman become husband and wife
A piece of paper says they'll start a new life
A piece of paper says it's alright
In order to form a more perfect union
Religion will cost a man one tenth of his goal
A piece of paper says he's redeemed his soul
A piece of paper says he's alright
You know paper is only paper and you know people,
Well they'll try to be good
Some folks live by others paper, some folks live like they should
So in order to form a more perfect union
A legal abortion so the family won't know
A piece of paper says the problem won't grow
A piece of paper makes it alright
In order to form a more perfect union
A country will call on it's young men to fight
A piece of paper says it's alright to die!
A piece of paper says it's alright
and it's followed by the great "Captain of Your Ship" by Reparata and the Del-rons!
