John's Ashcroft's been running around on a "Patriot" tour, trying to drum up support for some bigger and better infringements of our privacy rights. So naturally I had to write the old song writer a song. Feel free to sing "Spying Days Are Here Again" a/k/a "The Patriot Act Song" to "Happy Days Are Here Again," by Jack Yellen and Milton Ager, using this midi link which opens a second window.
(Long Musical Intro)
Spying days are here again.
You aren't safe from evil men.
One might even be a real close friend.
Spying days are here again.
Patriots should pass my law.
Cause privacy is such a bore.
If you aren't doing nothing wrong,
Then you're safe behind your door.
Your cares and troubles are gone,
Cause George and I'm on the job.
Spying days are here again.
We'll check you out. You won't know when.
And we'll coax some tattling from a friend.
Spying days are here again.
Liberals don't like my laws.
They're treasonous right to the core.
While you're at it, shove them out the door.
Like you did with Albert Gore.
Those that dare to tell me "nay,"
They'd better watch the things they say.
Cause I'll get them soon and make my day.
Spying days are here to stay.
Your cares and troubles are gone,
Cause George and I'm on the job.
Spying days are here again.
The world is filled with evil men.
But we'll stop their nukes and plans and pens.
Spying days are here again.
