(Devo:) Maybe if you're lucky you won't die!(Ian:) There are safer and easier ways to get high(verse 1)I wish they'd freakin' hurry up and make a teleporationDevice so I don't have to fly when I go on vacationThat'd be nice, but nooo, quantum physics is haaardSo I get to keep being treated like a convict in a prison yardAs of today the TSA say you mightHave to arrive 3 days early just so to catch your damn flightAnd the parking lot's a lot like parking in an abyssI think my house is actually closer than thisI make it to the gate on time but find a huge lineBecause the plane seats forty-two, but they sold a eighty-nineTickets for it, so we were stuck for hours standing thereLetras de cancionesWhile the kid in line behind me wiped some chocolate in my hairAt least I hope that it was chocolate, *splat* anywayI finally found the ticket counter some time the next dayThe girl spoke Swahili and hated men, that was whenI realized I'd never see my luggage againThe first carry-on is free, I need my glasses to seeWell that counts as number two so that'll be an extra feeI didn't have a choice so I paid, but I protestedAnd then headed to security so I could be molestedThey put my dangerous pocket change in a canThen I had an X-RAY, MRI, and CAT scanWhen they examined all my fillings I screamed 'cause I had had itWhy don't you just give me a prostate exam while you're at it(chorus)(both:) Flight Check!

I'd like to welcome you aboard Aeronautic Inversion Airlines. Our flight today will be 3 hours and 17 minutes. We're currently 4th in line for take off so we should be in the air in about 5 hours or so. Once we're airborne I'd like to remind you that you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you when we land in lovely Fort Lauderdale Florida, where currently the weather is a balmy 82 degrees. You do NOT have the right to an attorney. If we don't like you you will be shipped off to a secret prison on the ass end of Kazakhstan, never to be heard from again. And I guarantee you THAT flight won't be as comfortable, although they do have the same drink specials. So sit back, relax, and try to enjoy your flight. Or else.(verse 3)Remember when flying didn't suck quite so bad?Neither do I, and that's that's the part that's making me madAnd you know as we go forward things'll only get worseUnless GM invents a car that has a warp drive firstRemember when we were all supposed to have jet packs?Well there was no where for our luggage, so they all got the axe.The planes they build now can't fly themselves just yetIn a couple more years we'll have invented SkyNetA new coach will silence the most vocal complainerCryogenically frozen in a bomb proof containerAnd if you happen to arrive at your port of call aliveYou'll have to pay an extra thawing fee of $19.95.We have to turn off iPods, games and cell phonesAs if I could crash the plane with a certain ring toneBut then the stewardess crossed a line she never should have crossedShe made the guy next to me turn his pacemaker offI'm sick of being harassed by an undertrained staffI'm sick of two hour flights that take a day and a halfI'm sick of tripling my costs because of all these hidden feesI'm sick of flights being delayed because some guy in line sneezedI'm sick of my luggage going to Hawaii all the timeI'm sick of my bags getting a better vacation than mine!But the thing I'm sick of most, and what really has me pissedThanks to this song I'm on the No Fly List(chorus)(both:) Flight Check!
