lirik lagu phil ochs - love me, i'm a liberal (demo)
[verse 1]
i cried when they shot medgar evers
tears ran down my spine
and 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
[verse 2]
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
[verse 3]
i cheered when humphrey was chosen
my faith in the system restored
and i’m glad that the commies were thrown out
from the a.f.l. c.i.o. board
and 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
[verse 4]
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 crane?
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
[verse 5]
i read new republic and nation
and i’ve learned to take every view
and i’ve memorized lerner and golden
and 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
[verse 6]
i vote for the democratic party
they want the u.n. to be strong
i attend all the pete seeger concerts
he sure gets me singing those songs
and 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
[verse 7]
sure, once i was young and impulsive
i wore every conceivable pin
even went to socialist meetings
learned all the old union hymns
ah, 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
