"Love Me I'm A Liberal"
by Phil Ochs and Daniel Cioper

E                     A              E      A
I cried when they shot John Lennon
E                            C(sharp)m
tears ran down my spine.
E                           A          E      A
I cried when they offed Diana
F(sharp)m                              B7
as though I lost a sister of mine.
E                 A                 E    A
But Tupac got what was coming.
G(sharp)m                                    A
He got what he asked for that time.
E                 C(sharp)m       A          B7   E
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

I go to the anti-war rallies
and tell Ralph Nader to drop out.
I love Stewart, Colbert and Bill Moyers,
All opinions should be allowed.
But don't talk about 9/11 (inside job)
or I'll send you to the loony house.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

I cheered when Obama was chosen
my faith in the system restored.
I'm glad Impeachment was thrown out
to the House Judiciary Floor.
I love punk rockers and rappers
as long as they don't live next door.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

The generals of Abu Ghraib
should all hang their heads in shame.
I can't understand why they torture.
Don't they know it doesn't work anyway?
But if you go talking 'bout Muhammed
I'll have to call the NSA.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

I read The Observer and Nation.
I've learned to take every view.
I've read Hightower and Chompsky.
I'm really no different than you.
But when it comes to Hugo Chavez
I know nothing of this U.S. backed coup.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

I vote for the Democratic Party.
They still want the U.N. to be strong.
I go to Michael Moore movies
he sure makes me want to move on.
I'll send all the money you ask for
but don't ask me to come on along.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal.

Once I was young and impulsive.
I smoked every conceivable thing.
Even went to John Denver concerts,
sang all the old Beatles hymns.
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.
