Love Me, I’m a Liberal lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 Malcolm X and Ice-T had it coming
They got what they asked for this time

[Refrain]
So love me, love me, love me
I'm a liberal

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
So love me, love me, love me
I'm a liberal
(Liberal, liberal, liberal)

[Verse 3]
I cheered when Clinton was chosen (Yay)
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
[Refrain]
So love me, love me, love me
I'm a liberal

[Verse 4]
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

[Refrain]
So love me, love me, love me
I'm a liberal
(Liberal)

[Interlude]
You know, I'm the whitest person that ever did the Funky Chicken
Watch me

[Verse 5]
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
[Refrain]
So love me, love me, love me
I'm a liberal

[Verse 6]
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

[Refrain]
So love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me
I'm a liberal

[Outro]
Liberal (Liberal)
I'm a liberal (Liberal)
Liberal (Liberal)
Liberal
