The Bush Administration is three years old and snoops on our business
So we spell all out the words we don't want them to guess
Like civil U-N-I-O-N and P-E-A-C-E
But the words we're hiding from them now
Are a bit more inflammatory!

The P-A-T-R-I-O-T A-C-T passed Congress today
And T-O-M R-I-D-G-E monitors what you say
Watch what you check out at the L-I-B-R-A-R-Y
Or you'll have A-S-H-C-R-O-F-T asking why!

Watch W smile, he thinks it's the end
Of the 4th Amendment
He thinks free S-P-double-E-C-H spells terrorist
I spell out all the fightin' words
And turn my head when I speak
'Cause I don't wanna go to Guatanamo Bay
I don't have that much cheek.

The P-A-T-R-I-O-T A-C-T passed Congress today
And T-O-M R-I-D-G-E monitors what you say
Watch what you check out at the L-I-B-R-A-R-Y
Oh, I wish that we could stop A-S-H-C-R-O-F-T!
