The Lyrics
Got this from the news about the returning troops having to pay extra for bags on Delta Airlines and the resulting anger...
They charged a fee to you
Fly Delta Airlines
Your fourth bag wasn’t getting’ through
Troops weren’t lyin’
Extra bags weren’t flyin’ (for free)
Who can understand it?
Troops flyin’ around
Defenders of democracy
Just tryin’ to get back to town (from Afghanistan)
They charged a fee to you
Fly Delta Airlines
Soldiers whined
It cost you
It cost you
It cost you
Two hundred dollars more
And they didn’t care
If you protect democracy
Just pay that fee you abhor
It wasn’t free
They charged a fee to you
Fly Delta Airlines
(price of defending democracy)
Fly Delta Airlines
Your fourth bag wasn’t getting’ through
Troops weren’t lyin’
Extra bags weren’t flyin’ (for free)
Who can understand it?
Troops flyin’ around
Defenders of democracy
Just tryin’ to get back to town (from Afghanistan)
They charged a fee to you
Fly Delta Airlines
Soldiers whined
It cost you
It cost you
It cost you
Two hundred dollars more
And they didn’t care
If you protect democracy
Just pay that fee you abhor
It wasn’t free
They charged a fee to you
Fly Delta Airlines
(price of defending democracy)

Flyin' the expensive skies! ;-D $555 ticket for the next flight out. :-)
That's just unpatriotic and should be against the law to charge our troops coming back from an unpopular, but necessary, war. 555!!!
