Love Me, I'm a Liberal

[Verse 1]

Oh, I cried on September 11th

Tears they ran down my spine

Like I cry for each murdered Iraqi

As though I've lost a neighbor of mine

But Afghanistan got what was comin'

It was the right thing to do at the time

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 2]

And I go to the anti-war rallies

Curse George and the whole G.O.P. 

And I can't get enough of Obama

Oh, his message of change speaks to me

But sure, Nader's right about most things

But he cost Gore that election, you see

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 3]

And now I bristled with rage through Katrina

The response made me sick to my heart

I'm sure FEMA would've come runnin'

Had it flooded rich whites in Cape Cod

But don't talk about revolution

'Cause that's goin' just a little bit too far

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 4]

Yes, I vote for the Democratic Party

I figure soon enough they'll come along

And I attended those Vote For Change concerts

And they sure got me singin' those songs

And I'm bothered about corporate governance

But I do want our brand to trade strong

So love me, love me, love me I'm a liberal

[Verse 5]

Yes, I read the New Yorker and Nation

And I've learned to take every view

And I idolize Franken and Stewart

Hell, I feel like I'm almost a Jew

But when it comes down to globalized markets

Well, there's no one more red, white, and blue

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 6]

And sure once I was young and impulsive

I wore every conceivable pin

Even went to some socialist meetings

Yeah, I learned all the old union hymns

But oh, 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
