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 Malcom-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 (liberal) (We are 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 neighborhood watch doesn't know you I hope the cops take down your name So love me, love me, love me I'm a liberal (Liberal) You know, I'm the whitest person That ever did the funky chicken Watch me Yeah, I read the New Republic 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 is 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 Love me, love me, love me Love me, love me, love me I'm a liberal Liberal (liberal) I'm a liberal (liberal) Liberal (liberal) Li-li-li-li-li-li-liberal
