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      So love me, love me, love me   I'm a liberal      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      So love me, love me, love me   I'm a liberal      I cheered when Clinton was chosen   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      So love me, love me, love me   I'm a liberal      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 Neigborhood Watch doesn't know you   I hope the cops take your name      So love me, love me, love me   I'm a liberal      Yeh, I read the New Republic(an)   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's no one more red, white and blue      So love me, love me, love me   I'm a liberal      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
