Love Me I’m a Liberal

[Verse 1]
Oh, I cried on September 11th
Tears they ran down my spine
Like I cry for each murdered Iraqi
As though I've lost a neighbor of mine
But Afghanistan got what was comin'
It was the right thing to do at the time
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 2]
And I go to the anti-war rallies
Curse George and the whole G.O.P. 
And I can't get enough of Obama
Oh, his message of change speaks to me
But sure, Nader's right about most things
But he cost Gore that election, you see
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 3]
And now I bristled with rage through Katrina
The response made me sick to my heart
I'm sure FEMA would've come runnin'
Had it flooded rich whites in Cape Cod
But don't talk about revolution
'Cause that's goin' just a little bit too far
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
[Verse 4]
Yes, I vote for the Democratic Party
I figure soon enough they'll come along
And I attended those Vote For Change concerts
And they sure got me singin' those songs
And I'm bothered about corporate governance
But I do want our brand to trade strong
So love me, love me, love me I'm a liberal

[Verse 5]
Yes, I read the New Yorker and Nation
And I've learned to take every view
And I idolize Franken and Stewart
Hell, I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes down to globalized markets
Well, there's no one more red, white, and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 6]
And sure once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to some socialist meetings
Yeah, I learned all the old union hymns
But oh, 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
