Phil Ochs
2
I cried when they shot Medgar Evers
3
Tears ran down my spine
4
And I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
5
As though I'd lost a father of mine
6
But Malcolm X got what was coming
7
He got what he asked for this time
8
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
9
I go to the civil rights rallies
10
And I put down the old D.A.R.
11
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
12
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
13
But don't talk about revolution
14
That's going a little bit too far
15
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
16
I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
17
My faith in the system restored
18
And I'm glad that the commies were thrown out
19
From the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
20
And I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
21
As long as they don't move next door
22
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
23
Ah, the people of old Mississippi
24
Should all hang their heads in shame
25
Now I can't understand how their minds work
26
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crain?
27
But if you ask me to bus my children
28
I hope the cops take down your name
29
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
30
Yes, I read New Republic and Nation
31
I've learned to take every view
32
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
33
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
34
But when it comes to times like Korea
35
There's no one more red, white and blue
36
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
37
I vote for the democratic party
38
They want the U.N. to be strong
39
I attend all the Pete Seeger concerts
40
He sure gets me singing those songs
41
And I'll send all the money you ask for
42
But don't ask me to come on along
43
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
44
Sure, once I was young and impulsive
45
I wore every conceivable pin
46
Even went to socialist meetings
47
Learned all the old union hymns
48
Ah, but I've grown older and wiser
49
And that's why I'm turning you in
50
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
51
