Ballad of the TSA (With apologies to Barry Sadler)

Bloated agents with rubber gloves
Fearful men only a mother could love
Women who mean just what they say
The brave souls of the TSA

(Chorus)
Rubber gloves upon their hands
Men and women, guard America’s land
One hundred more will test today
And all will work for TSA

Trained to seek the terrorist band
Trained in screening, hand to hand
They are those who guard our gates
Finding ways to make us late

(Chorus)
Rubber gloves upon their hands
Men and women, guard America’s land
One hundred more will test today
And all will work for TSA

Back in line a young wife waits
Her aged mother has met her fate
Searched by agents arm in arm
Her depends have caused alarm
From up ahead she hears this plea
Wait, wait, I have to pee

(Chorus)
Rubber gloves upon their hands
Men and women, guard America’s land
One hundred more will test today
And all will work for TSA

Put rubber gloves on Grandson Nate
Make him share in this here fate
One hundred more will test to day
Make him head of TSA
