==Outro Monologue==
''there's also an intro monologue somewhere... probably in [[TSA]], which should probably be merged here''
Now as I was writing this song I began to think and, well, maybe even hope &ndash; as in "got hope?" &ndash; that, you know, maybe someone in an air-traveling situation &ndash; or maybe even one of you here will be in an air-traveling situation yourself &ndash; and the next time you're in a situation like that, and you're in line in an airport, and the TSA agent comes up and asks whether you prefer being nuked or kneaded &ndash; you can sing "I Love the TSA" to them, and walk out.
You know if one person, just ''one person'' does it. they may think he's a troublemaker, and they'll charge him with creating a nuisance, and put him on the no-fly list.
And if two people &ndash; ''two'' people do it, in harmony &ndash; they may think they're both terrorists, and they'll arrest 'em both and hold 'em without charges for a week.
But if three people do it &ndash; ''three'', can you imagine? &ndash; three people walking in, singing a bar of "I Love the TSA" and walking out &ndash; they may think it's an organization.
And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said ''fifty people'' a ''day'' &ndash; walking in singing a bar of "I Love the TSA" and walking out? And friends, they may think it's a movement. And that's what it is &ndash; the I Love the TSA anti-mass-screening movement &ndash; and all you've got to do to join is sing the next time it comes 'round on the guitar.

I need to make a t-shirt from this or something while it's still legal.

I love it when they look at my shoes
(So they can) check them over closely for clues
That they're lovingly crafted with explosive glues
(That's why) I love it when they look at my shoes.

you know they're really only just protecting our lives
by keeping us away from knitting needles and plastic knives
if you're thinking nasty thoughts towards them, you should be embarrarrassed

They'll protect us even if they have to take us all away
Oh I love the TSA

Outro Monologue

there's also an intro monologue somewhere... probably in TSA, which should probably be merged here

Now as I was writing this song I began to think and, well, maybe even hope – as in "got hope?" – that, you know, maybe someone in an air-traveling situation – or maybe even one of you here will be in an air-traveling situation yourself – and the next time you're in a situation like that, and you're in line in an airport, and the TSA agent comes up and asks whether you prefer being nuked or kneaded – you can sing "I Love the TSA" to them, and walk out.

You know if one person, just one person does it. they may think he's a troublemaker, and they'll charge him with creating a nuisance, and put him on the no-fly list.

And if two people – two people do it, in harmony – they may think they're both terrorists, and they'll arrest 'em both and hold 'em without charges for a week.

But if three people do it – three, can you imagine? – three people walking in, singing a bar of "I Love the TSA" and walking out – they may think it's an organization.

And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day – walking in singing a bar of "I Love the TSA" and walking out? And friends, they may think it's a movement. And that's what it is – the I Love the TSA anti-mass-screening movement – and all you've got to do to join is sing the next time it comes 'round on the guitar.
