A Snoop In the House

A Snoop In the House By Elton Camp No search warrant does he need The Constitution he needn’t heed He’s learned the sneakiest way Our right to privacy to betray He’s learned every slimy trick To be as all-knowing as St. Nick Whether we’re asleep or awake A clandestine look he can take As a government agent always should He knows if we’ve been bad or good Phone calls, texts and our e-mail, too He knows everything that we do But his motives are altogether pure To foil terrorists he wants to be sure No wrong use will we ever see We have Uncle Sam’s guarantee Therefore, it must be this way Our trust he’d never betray
