Lyrics:
A Senator lady
Got the news one day
The country’s being spied on
by
the NSA

So she went out defending
on each TV set
but when she found out she’d been snooped on

she got all upset

And 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 quiz

Learning 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 rights

It’s like a minimalist

who does their laundry with All
or if Woody
Allen liked to watch
Kids in the Hall

it’s like FDR
got locked in a Honda Accord
a cheap healthcare
plan
that you just can’t afford

If 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.
