It's a cover of a Phil Ochs song, but with altered/modernized lyrics.

Feat. Mojo Nixon




E                            A                    E        A
I cried when they shot John Lennon
E                              C#m
Tears ran down my spine
E                  A                E
And I cried when I saw "JFK"
                       F#7                 B7
As though I'd lost a father of mine
E                       A                    E
But Malcolm X and Ice-T had it coming
G#m                                                A
They got what they asked for this time

CHORUS
E                    C#m      A
So love me, love me, love me
B7    E
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 too far

CHORUS

I cheered when Clinton was chosen
My faith in the system reborn
I'll do anything to save our schools
If my taxes ain't too much more
And I love blacks and gays and Latinos
As long as they don't move next door

CHORUS


Rush Limbaugh and the L.A.P.D.
Should all hang their heads in shame
I can't understand where they're at
Arsenio should set them straight
But if Neigborhood Watch doesn't know you
I hope the cops take your name

CHORUS

Yeh, I read the New Republic(an)
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's no one more red, white and blue

CHORUS

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

CHORUS
