To repel the tearing terrorists
Who’d rend our liberty,
The ship of state
Secures the gate.
Do you have ID?
Freedom is biometric.
Americans stand tall
With iris tints
And fingerprints
And DNA for all.
Cameras, cameras everywhere
Nor any thought to think.
It makes a fella
Smooth an’ mella.
Hick! Anotha drink!
I know more than her mother
About my darling Kimmy.
With infrared
I see her bed
And the winsome Kimmy shimmy.
We map the social network
To find the central spider.
If you call Iran
Or Afghanistan,
We call you an insider.
No keyword goes unnoticed.
You used the words “expire”
And “magazine”.
What does it mean?
When do you open fire?
give me a clue so sweet and true
