Lyrics:

Grandma got indefinitely detained now

coming home to visit Christmas Eve

You could say she had a right to counsel

but some folks in the Congress disagree

She was flying home to our house

when she got checked by TSA

thought she might be Abdulmutallab

when they looked at her X-ray

Her hair had recently been colored

she paid cash for her Christmas gifts

two things apparently the Congress

says just might make you a terrorist

Grandma got indefinitely detained now

coming home to visit Christmas Eve

you could claim there's no right to due process

but check the 5th amendment and you'll see

They say they need to have these powers

to help protect this free country

but if it takes these steps to do so

what is it we are protecting?

Now she's an enemy combatant

as if that makes any sense

the only thing that she's combating

is her unpredictable incontinence

Grandma got indefinitely detained now

trying to come visit Christmas Eve

they took her rights in order to…protect rights..

the most genius plan ever in history

Grandma got indefinitely detained now

never made it home on Christmas day

she always wanted to live in Miami

at least now she's 90 miles away
