Enter Homeland

[Tune: Enter Sandman]

You come back a veteran

An expert shot with a gun

Respected by everyone

Homeland sees you a threat

Because you are a vet

How quickly they do forget

Serve your nation with honor

The government gives you a dis

Uniform wearer

Might cause terror

Understand

You’re put on the list by Homeland

If you’re an abortion foe

No stem cells from embryos

Listen to talk radio

You want the borders secure

Every week you go to church

And think that people should work

Vote Republican

Or worse, Libertarian

If the Constitution’s

Your solution

You they brand

You’re put on the list by Homeland

There is freedom of religion

Of speech, press, and assembly

To keep and bear arms

To be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures

But if your name is Obam’ or Rahm

And your friend bombed the Pentagon

We know the Constitution you berate

You want more power for the state

Exit liberty

Enter tyranny

Iron hand

Exit liberty

Enter tyranny

Iron hand

We’re Put on the list by Homeland

Words April 18, 2009 by Bill Griffin, reflecting on Homeland Security’s recent report.
