Terminal 082 - Operation Streamline Lyrics

Well, I'm a U.S. Marshal down on that southern line
Where the Rio Grande's burning and we're running out of time
Operation Streamline's bringing me by the score
200 at a time, and then 200 more

I'm fighting with the director, he needs to see the light
We need more deputy marshals just to make it through the night
With judges signing chain-seas and the sail block's about to burst
We're drowning in the bodies, and it's only getting worse

Every day they're butting in, from the border to the court
The judges slam the gavel, and we're coming up short
I've been ringing every bell, trying to make them see
A marshal can't do his job without a fully-staffed team

But now the director's listening, he's finally caught my drift
He called a meeting with the deputy director
To give us all the marshals on the border a much-needed lift
With judges, chain-seas, and the sail block's about to burst

We're drowning in the numbers, and it's only getting worse
So we gather round the table, meet the director and the crew
The 16th floor and CEO knew just what we had to do
We're calling in new deputies, we're gonna hire them real fast

We'll put boots on the ground, fix this mess at last
Finally Congress has heard our cry, and we're standing tall
We got the backup coming, we'll be ready for it all
With Operation Streamline pushing numbers through the door

We'll keep our sail block from bursting like they were before
No more fighting with the director, he's on our side tonight
We're getting more deputy marshals just to make it right
With judges signing chain-seas, and our facilities are about to burst

We were drowning in the numbers, but we've turned the worst
So here we are on the border
With a plan that's set to go
The director finally got Congress all in

And now the numbers won't overflow
On this line in the desert, where the pressure's high and mean
The Marshal Service stands together, we're the best you've ever seen
It's one goes out to band

I love you brother, see you for Fidelis
See you for Fidelis
See you for Fidelis
