text: Statutes, regulations, litigation, they all play a role
  In creatin' conditions for a healthier stroll
  Law brings education, incentives, and deterrence
  Mandates safer designs, property's preference
  Informational, physical, economic change the scene
  Public health law ensures we live clean
  
  The power and duty of the state, that's the aim
  Ensuring health conditions, ain't that a game?
  But there are limits, can't constrain autonomy
  Privacy, liberty, businesses got their property
  
  Let's break it down, five characteristics strong
  Public health law, where we belong
  Number one, government gotta defend
  Against health risks, helpin' us on the mend
  Population-based perspective, prevention in sight
  Keepin' us healthy, day and night
  
  Government and the people, a relationship to build
  Workin' together, got the power to rebuild
  Mission, core functions, services galore
  Public health system, keepin' us secure
  
  And lastly, the power to coerce, it's for real
  Individuals, professionals, businesses gotta feel
  It's all for the community's protection, can't you see?
  Public health law, that's the key
  
  JAMA laid it down back in 2000
  These words still ring true, ain't no doubt
  Statutes, regulations, litigation, they're our tools
  For a healthier, safer world, breakin' all the rules
