Lyrics
Homeland Security
They got a file on you and me
Who you are and where you?ve been
They?re gonna know if you go there again
Why do they need to collect all the data
Of every man, every woman and child
Just in case they belong to Al-Qaeda
Gonna take them a mighty long while
Drop a rat at the entrance to a maze
And put the food where you think it?s hidden
A crafty rat isn?t gonna be fazed
And we got problems who?re you kidding?
With due respect, sir, your quest for abatement
As well-intended as I think it is
You?ll find no bombs on my Visa statement
And where I shop is none of your business
