"Love Me, I'm a Liberal"
Artist: Phil Ochs
Album: There But for Fortune (Compilation)
I Ecried when they Ashot Medgar EEversA  
ETears ran down my spC#mine
I cEried when they Ashot Mr. KeEnnedy
As though I'd lF#7ost a father of B7mine
But MEalcolm X Agot what was coEming
He G#mgot what he asked for this Atime
So Elove me, C#mlove me, Alove me, B7I'm a Eliberal
I Ego to Acivil rights ErallieAs
And I Eput down the old C#mD.A.R.
I love EHarry and ASidney and ESammy
I hope every F#7colored boy becomes a B7star
But Edon't talk Aabout revolEution
That's G#mgoing a little bit too Afar
So Elove me, C#mlove me, Alove me, B7I'm a Eliberal
I cEheered when AHumphrey was EchosenA  
My Efaith in the system C#mrestored
I'm Eglad the Acommies were Ethrown out
Of the F#7A.F.L. C.I.O. B7board
I Elove Puerto ARicans and ENegros
As G#mlong as they don't move next Adoor
So Elove me, C#mlove me, Alove me, B7I'm a Eliberal
The Epeople of Aold MississEippiA  
Should Eall hang their heads in C#mshame
I Ecan't underAstand how their Eminds work
What's the F#7matter don't they watch Les B7Crane?
But if you Eask me to Abus my Echildren
I G#mhope the cops take down your Aname
So Elove me, C#mlove me, Alove me, B7I'm a Eliberal
I Eread New ReApublic and ENationA  
I've Elearned to take every C#mview
You Eknow, I've memorized ALerner and EGolden
I F#7feel like I'm almost a B7Jew
But when it Ecomes to Atimes like koErea
There's G#mno one more red, white and Ablue
So Elove me, C#mlove me, Alove me, B7I'm a Eliberal
I Evote for the Ademoctratic EpartyA  
They Ewant the U.N. to be C#mstrong
I Ego to all the APete Seeger Econcerts
He F#7sure gets me singing those B7songs
I'll Esend all the Amoney you Eask for
But don't G#mask me to come on Aalong
So Elove me, C#mlove me, Alove me, B7I'm a Eliberal
Once EI was Ayoung and imEpulsiveA  
I wore Eevery conceivable C#mpin
Even Ewent to the Asocialist Emeetings
Learned F#7all the old union B7hymns
But EI've grown Aolder and Ewiser
And that's G#mwhy I'm turning you Ain
So Elove me, C#mlove me, Alove me, B7I'm a Eliberal
