Lyrics
Wake up, border control
Staring at the booklets that everybody holds
The colour, the symbol
The stickers on the back
Guess the nationality and how much did they pack
That girl looks a little young to be by herself
Should I tell someone or try to help out
There's here parents scribbling in ball-point
String connected to the table
No symptoms, no to all
Fire arms
Never in my life have I been to a farm
Mandatory lies
Then he asked me some questions that
I wasn't quite prepared for
Why did you use the escalator
You look pretty healthy
And what fabric mix is your T-shirt
I think it's cotton poly but I always cut the tags off
Cold water, tumble dry, Bangladesh
Now he's complaining about the meal
That he didn't have to pay for
To the person in the middle seat
Who didn't want to be there
Per diem persecution
Manufacturer's instructions
Mandatory lies
Subtitled infotainment
I refuse to buy the headphones
Until the flight attendant spills the coffee on my laptop
And now I've got some leverage
For the useless electronics
That I'll toss into the garbage
In the lobby of the hotel
Looking closely at the uniform
Needlessly objectifying
Tilted hat coordinated
Tailored for the Asian market
Leaning over whisper softly
Sorry for the inconvenience
25% off voucher quickie in the bathroom
I said cold water, tumble dry, Vietnam
I wake up in my own bed
Pre-empting my set alarm time
Pretending that it's the time change
Premature evacuation
Dripping in the darkness
Ducking past the hanging ductwork
Gas line installed incorrectly
Reach a hand into the basket
Extra concentration special formulation
Pre-packaged
Pre-proportioned
Automatic settings pre-selected
Cold water, tumble dry
