Lyrics:

\\n

Here\\u2019s a song

\\n

For the good folks who

\\n

We pay to look for bombs

\\n

In each other\\u2019s boots

\\n

Sure this line is long

\\n

Longer than my fuse

\\n

But you\\u2019re just doing your job

\\n

And what a job you\\u2019re doing

\\n

\\n

For the put-upon

\\n

Bearers of bad news

\\n

Now and forever caught here

\\n

Between us and our due

\\n

As platinums golds and silvers

\\n

Singing the Delta blues

\\n

\\u201cI can\\u2019t believe it\\u2019s not in your

\\n

Power to move me

\\n

To the seat I want

\\n

And just forgot to choose

\\n

I know you\\u2019re doing your job

\\n

But what a job to do\\u201d

\\n

\\n

And for the mom

\\n

Running stoically through

\\n

Each kid-unfriendly gauntlet

\\n

Doing the work of two

\\n

\\u2018Til the boarding process

\\n

Drops her off next to

\\n

A childless man of business

\\n

Whose cares are few

\\n

Enough to voice his problems with

\\n

Her toddler on fumes

\\n

I heard her tell him off like

\\n

\\u201cWho the hell are you

\\n

To assess this job

\\n

That you could never do

\\n

Just put your headphones on\\u201d

\\n

Then away we flew

\\n

Then away we flew

\\n
