[00:00.107] |
In every American community, |
[00:01.430] |
you have varying shades of political opinion. |
[00:04.190] |
One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. |
[00:14.633] |
An outspoken group on many subjects. |
[00:18.117] |
Ten degrees to the left of center in good times, |
[00:21.482] |
ten degrees to the right of center |
[00:22.824] |
if it affects them personally. |
[00:30.756] |
So here, then, is a lesson in safe logic. |
[00:33.774] |
|
[00:36.193] |
I cried when they shot Medgar Evers |
[00:40.835] |
Tears ran down my spine |
[00:44.263] |
And I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy |
[00:48.276] |
As though I'd lost a father of mine |
[00:52.460] |
But Malcolm X got what was coming |
[00:56.463] |
He got what he asked for this time |
[01:00.086] |
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal |
[01:05.113] |
|
[01:07.650] |
Get it? |
[01:15.702] |
I go to civil rights rallies |
[01:19.274] |
And I put down the old D.A.R. |
[01:22.694] |
(D.A.R., that's the Dykes of the American Revolution) |
[01:27.414] |
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy |
[01:30.810] |
I hope every colored boy becomes a star |
[01:34.541] |
But don't talk about revolution |
[01:38.350] |
That's going a little bit too far |
[01:42.074] |
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal |
[01:47.662] |
|
[01:49.709] |
I cheered when Humphrey was chosen |
[01:53.700] |
My faith in the system restored |
[01:57.274] |
I'm glad that the Commies were thrown out |
[02:00.825] |
Of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board |
[02:04.575] |
And I love Puerto Ricans and Negros |
[02:08.369] |
As long as they don't move next door |
[02:12.466] |
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal |
[02:17.074] |
|
[02:19.791] |
Ah, the people of old Mississippi |
[02:23.809] |
Should all hang their heads in shame |
[02:27.384] |
Now, I can't understand how their minds work |
[02:31.030] |
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crane? |
[02:34.966] |
But if you ask me to bus my children |
[02:38.964] |
I hope the cops take down your name |
[02:42.725] |
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal |
[02:47.630] |
|
[02:50.033] |
Yes, I read New Republic and Nation |
[02:53.929] |
I've learned to take every view |
[02:57.391] |
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden |
[03:00.978] |
I feel like I'm almost a Jew |
[03:04.714] |
But when it comes to times like Korea |
[03:08.600] |
There's no one more red, white and blue |
[03:12.511] |
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal |
[03:17.416] |
|
[03:20.037] |
I vote for the Democratic party |
[03:23.724] |
They want the U.N. to be strong |
[03:27.116] |
I attend all the Pete Seeger concerts |
[03:30.761] |
He sure gets me singing those songs |
[03:34.309] |
And I'll send all the money you ask for |
[03:38.100] |
But don't ask me to come on along |
[03:41.973] |
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal |
[03:46.698] |
|
[03:50.234] |
Sure, once I was young and impulsive |
[03:54.307] |
I wore every conceivable pin |
[03:57.886] |
Even went to socialist meetings |
[04:01.547] |
Learned all the old union hymns |
[04:05.362] |
Ah, but I've grown older and wiser |
[04:09.593] |
And that's why I'm turning you in |
[04:13.689] |
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal |
