Lyrics for Love Me, Im a Liberal by Phil Ochs:
| | | Artist: | Phil Ochs |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Love Me, Im a Liberal | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 69 | | | | Lyrics: | I cried when they shot Medgar Evers
Tears ran down my spine
I cried when they shot Mr.
Kennedy
As though I'd lost a father of mine
But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got
what he asked for this time
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
I go to civil
rights rallies
And I put down the old D.A.R.
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope
every coloured boy becomes a star
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 Humphrey was
chosen
My faith in the system restored
I'm glad the commies were thrown out
of the
AFL-CIO board
I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
as long as they don't move next door
So
love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
The people of old Mississippi
Should all hang
their heads in shame
I can't understand how their minds work
What's the matter don't they
watch Les Crain?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your
name
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
I read New Republic and
Nation
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel
like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like Korea
There's no one more red, white
and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
I vote for the Democratic
Party.
They want the U.N. to be strong
I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets
me singing those songs
I'll send all the money you ask for
But don't ask me to come on
along
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
Once I was young and impulsive
I
wore every conceivable pin
