LOVE ME, I'M A LIBERAL I cried when they shot John Lennon Tears ran down my spine And I cried when I saw "JFK" As if I'd lost a father of mine But Malcom-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 to 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 aint 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 thier heads in shame I can't understand where they're at Arsenio should set them straight But if neighborhood watch doesn't know you I hope the cops take your name So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal Yeah, I read the New Republican 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 is 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 So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal | Greetings all you young free traders I will tell you my greatest tale How I looted pillaged and plundered And never went to jail Cause I called it all freedom and democracy Though both of those concepts have failed To start, I'm raising your tuition I’m Neoliberal Though my young days were often quite brutal Swords, guns and so many dead Now times have changed for the better And they sit and meet with me instead Maybe because I'm running their elections Or maybe because they’re strangled by debt Either way they’re quickly becoming Neoliberals And though I’m president of all Bolivia I don’t have much to say I can’t speak Quechua or Espanish Cuz I grew up in the US of A And I struggled through private acadamies So surely your children will pay Cuz I'm privatizing the school system I’m Neoliberal Ah the people of all Latin America Should all hang their heads in shame You know they need to come down from the mountains And get in the money game And if they won't work in our factories We'll simply just cut off their aid So pay me, pay me, pay me, I'm Neoliberal I’ve patented foreign invasion With patents pending on air And I’ve made GMO labor leaders That all believe in Laissez-faire And though their suffering wage cuts and job loss They just don’t seem to care Cuz I’ve spliced their common sense gene with Tomatoes I’m Neoliberal Now I go around preaching development Through unrestricted Free Trade Even though it's completely ass-backwards As Russia has clearly displayed We'll force it on you with sanction threats Or our armies will have to invade Now pay me, pay me, pay me I'm Neoliberal |
