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
