Bend At the Spine, If you Decline

Johnny Cash's I WALK THE LINE

Bend at the Spine, If you Decline!
A Paddy Whack

They keep a close watch on this airport line
They keep their eyes wide open all the time
And if you Opt Out TSA's guideline
Bend at the spine, if you decline.

Our Constitution makes this very clear
No search and seizure! Fourth Amendment here!
Who is the cause of all this strife and fear?
At the airline, freedom resign.

As sure as liquid's wet and files are sharp
No comfort food or tools, they must depart
Take off your shoes because they aren't so smart
Bend at the spine, if you decline.

If you are Arab, or wear a hijab
You are exempt, it's not the screener's job
Napolitano's orders are macabre
Bend at the spine, if you decline.

They keep a close watch on your private parts
And if you opt out frisk and search will start
Two hours to clear the line til you depart
Bend at the spine, if you decline.
