Love Me I'm A Liberal

I cried when they shot John Lennon

Tears ran down my spine

And I cried when I saw "JFK"

As though I'd lost a father of mine

But Malcolm X and Ice-T had it coming

They got what they asked for this time

So love me,

Love me,

Love me,

I'm a liberal

I go to pro-choice rallies

Recycle my cans and jars

I'll honk if you love the Dead

Hope those funny grunge bands become stars

But don't talk about revolution

That's going a little bit too far

So love me,

Love me,

Love me,

I'm a liberal

I cheered when Clinton was chosen

My faith in the system reborn

I'll do anything to save our schools

If my taxes ain't too much more

And I love blacks and gays and Latinos

As long as they don't move next door

So love me,

Love me,

Love me,

I'm a liberal

Rush Limbaugh and the L.A.P.D.

Should all hang their heads in shame

I can't understand where they're at

Arsenio should set them straight

But if Neigborhood Watch doesn't know you

I hope the cops take your name

So love me,

Love me,

Love me,

I'm a liberal

Yeh, I read the New Republic(an)

Rolling Stone and Mother Jones too

If I vote it's a Democrat

With a sensible economy view

But when it comes to terrorist Arabs

There's no one more red, white and blue

So love me,

Love me,

Love me,

I'm a liberal

Once I was young and had an attitude

Stickers covered the car I drove in

Even went on some direct actions

When there weren't rent-a-cops to be seen

Ah, but now I've grown older and wiser

And that's why I'm turning you in

So love me,

Love me,

Love me,

I'm a liberal
