Phil Ochs: Love Me, I’m a Liberal

I voted for Kamala Harris, I still think that she should have won She met all the MAGA folks halfway, she told us that she owned a gun She even reached out to Liz Cheney, I don’t see what more she could have done So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal Of course I believe Black Lives Matter, for equality I’ll always fight I cried when they killed Eric Garner, and wish the police would do right So I voted to double their budget, now I can rest easy at night So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal I rail against ICE and their doings, we’ve clearly seen decency fall I’ve seen them put children in cages, those images just make me bawl At least when a Democrat does it, I don’t have to see it at all So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal There’s a rainbow decal on my profile, it’s clear the gays have my support I watch Drag Race and Queer Eye each week and I sure love to see Mayor Pete holding court But I’d never let my kid transition, I’m quite worried about women’s sports So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal I find Netenyahu distasteful, I think he does things that are wrong And I think we should use stronger language when we send his next shipment of bombs And I’d never support ethnic cleansing, I just wish all those Arabs were gone So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal Well once I was young and impulsive, I wore every conceivable pin I went to the socialist meetings, and learned all the old union hymns 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
