I cried when they shot Medgar Evers Tears ran down my spine I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy As though Id lost a father of mine But Malcolm X got what was coming He got what he asked for this time So love me, love me, love me, Im a liberal I go to civil rights rallies And I put down the old D.A.R. I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy I hope every colored boy becomes a star But dont talk about revolution Thats going a little bit too far So love me, love me, love me, Im a liberal I cheered when Humphrey was chosen My faith in the system restored Im glad the commies were thrown out of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board I love Puerto Ricans and Negros as long as they dont move next door So love me, love me, love me, Im a liberal The people of old Mississippi Should all hang their heads in shame I cant understand how their minds work Whats the matter dont they watch Les Crain? But if you ask me to bus my children I hope the cops take down your name So love me, love me, love me, Im a liberal I read New republic and Nation Ive learned to take every view You know, Ive memorized Lerner and Golden I feel like Im almost a Jew But when it comes to times like Korea Theres no one more red, white and blue So love me, love me, love me, Im a liberal I vote for the democratic party They want the U.N. to be strong I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts He sure gets me singing those songs Ill send all the money you ask for But dont ask me to come on along So love me, love me, love me, Im a liberal Once I was young and impulsive I wore every conceivable pin Even went to the socialist meetings Learned all the old union hymns But Ive grown older and wiser And thats why Im turning you in So love me, love me, love me, Im a liberal
