Tuesday morning, terminal zoo
Coffee tastes like an old shoe
Thought I woke up doin’ okay
Until was patted down by the TSA

Rolling suitcase, polished floor
I’ve done this dance a thousand times before
Ticket’s ready, phone in play
Forgot my pants might be checked today

Empty pockets, step in line
Tryin’ hard to look just fine

The TSA took my bra away
Took my bra away, took it away
Shoes in a bin, belt in a tray
I walked in cool, I walked out “hey…!”
The TSA took my bra away
Took my bra away, on a Tuesday

Laptop out like I broke the law
Tiny shampoo starts a civil war
Beep goes off, the room goes quiet
All eyes on me, I try to hide it

They wave me over, say "step aside"
Everybody sees me try to hide
Blue gloves snap, I look away
I should’ve stayed in bed today

Guy behind me sighs real loud
Like I planned this scene for the crowd
Kids are cryin’, someone stares
As I’m patted down in my underwear
Hands up high, don’t ask why
Stare at the wall and count the tiles

The TSA took my bra away
Took my bra away, took it away
Shoes in a bin, belt in a tray
I walked in cool, I walked out “hey…!”
The TSA took my bra away
Took my bra away, on a Tuesday

Didn’t do nothin’, didn’t do wrong
Still been standin’ here way too long
Hands go down, eyes look away
Kinda weird start to my day

The TSA took my bra away
Took my bra away, threw it away
Shoes in a bin, belt in a tray
Not how I wanted to start my day
The TSA took my bra away
Took my bra away, took it away

The TSA took my bra away
Took my bra away, took it away
Watch in a bin, belt in a tray
I walked in fine, I walked out “hey…!”
The TSA took my bra away
Took my bra away, on a Tuesday

Shoes back on, gate in sight
Boarding call under buzzing lights
I made the flight, I’m still okay
Just left my bra with the TSA

Yeah, the TSA took my bra away
Took it away

The TSA took my bra away
Took my bra away, threw it away
watch in a bin, belt in a tray
I walked in fine, I walked out “hey…!!”
The TSA took my bra away
Took my bra away.
On Tuesday
