Recorded on stream 8 April 2021 "Love Me I'm A Liberal" by Phil Ochs Updated/Adapted by Jacob Minter   / mitnerd36     / mitnerd36   I cried when they shot Tamir Rice Tears ran down my smartphone I raged at Breonna Taylor's murder As it played on the corporate news shows But we need that big bounty on Assata She's a criminal, everyone knows So Love Me(x3), I'm a Liberal™ I support the BLM marches Just don't be unfair to the cops I'll take a knee with dear Colin At least 'til the complaining stops But I don't use the word "abolition" "Reform is good, "Defund" is not So Love Me(x3), I'm a Liberal™ I cheered when Joe Biden won it My faith in the system restored Now life can all go back to normal The empire's not evil anymore And we'll acknowledge marginalized people As long as they don't move next door So Love Me(x3), I'm a Liberal™ I don't hate the south they're just stupid You can tell by their accents and ways The workers, the black and the brown folks If they'd all just vote Dem they'd be saved and if you tell me "y'all" is inclusive I go into a white-hot rage So Love Me(x3), I'm a Liberal™ I think that good healthcare is needed It isn't just meant for rich snobs Citizens all should afford it And right now we're all getting robbed But don't you dare say "Single Payer" We'd lose all those insurance jobs So Love Me(x3), I'm a Liberal™ I read the New York Times and WaPo Get my China news from BBC I don't understand Breitbart readers But Fox News can make sense to me You poor fools getting your news from Facebook What's wrong, don't you own a TV So Love Me(x3), I'm a Liberal™ I read D'angelo and Kendi So I know the right phrases and tact I've read Stokely - oops - Kwama Ture At this point I'm practically black But I stop reading at "reparations" I'm not giving my heritage back So Love Me(x3), I'm a Liberal™ Don't talk about Israel or Palestine The very words give me a scare They've got lots of terrorist problems So the word "apartheid" isn't fair But since we already moved the embassy We might as well just leave it there So Love Me(x3), I'm a Liberal™ Once I was young and impulsive Sought justice and action and clout I went to the Socialist meetings Fought hate from the left with no doubt But now I've grown older and wiser That's why I'm ratting them out So Love Me(x3), I'm a Liberal™
