Love Me I'm a Liberal |
pre> |
E a e a I cried when they shot medgar evers |
E c#m |
Tears ran down my spine |
E a e I cried when they shot mr. |
kennedy |
F#7 b7 |
As though i’d lost a father of mine |
E a e But malcolm x got what was coming |
G#m a He got what he asked for this time |
E c#m a b7 e 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 colored 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 a.f.l. |
c.i.o. |
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 democtratic 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 |
Even went to the socialist meetings |
Learned all the old union hymns |
But 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 |
