Lyrics:
A Senator lady
Got the news one day
The country’s being spied on
by the NSASo she went out defending
on each TV set
but when she found out she’d been snooped on
she got all upsetAnd isn’t it ironic?
I mean, don’t you think?It’s like you’re at Chris Brown’s
and there’s punch in the fridge
or if The Bachelor
passed a geography quizLearning Ted Kennedy
happened to be good at bridge.
And who would have thought?
It figures.Senator, this may surprise you
and the irony bites
but Congresspeople ain’t the only ones
with 4th Amendment rightsIt’s like a minimalist
who does their laundry
with All
or if Woody Allen liked to watch
Kids in the Hallit’s like FDR
got locked in a Honda Accord
a cheap healthcare plan
that you just can’t affordIf Oscar Pistorius
really hated The Doors
and who would have thought?
It figures.I heard the government
is sneaking up on you.
Life has a funny, funny way
of calling you out
calling you out.
