Progressive Politics

Lyrics:

1. I mourned the Tiananmen martyrs
2. Whose free speech was so brutally quelled
3. And I cheered when Mandela walked freely
4. After so many years in a cell
5. But mister Assange can rot in prison
6. Those secrets were not his to tell
7. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
9. I attend sensitivity trainings
10. And I leave feeling so reassured
11. I love Oprah and Magic and Foreman
12. It’s great seein’ blacks become entrepreneurs
13. The economy’s become so inclusive
14. Revolution would just be absurd
15. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
17. I cheered when Obama was chosen
18. My faith in the system restored
19. And I'll never forgive Ralph Nader
20. For the race he stole from Al Gore
21. And I love hard-working Latinos
22. As long as they don't move next door
23. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
25. Something happened to working class voters
26. They’ve disgraced America’s name
27. Someone’s controlling the way that their minds work
28. And Vladimir Putin’s the man who’s to blame
29. But if you think you can win Single Payer
30. You must be completely insane
31. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
33. I listen to All Things Considered
34. I’d consider anyone’s views
35. I watch Colbert and Rachel Maddow
36. I use irony in everything I do
37. But when Trump set his sights on Maduro
38. There was no one more red, white and blue
39. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
41. I vote for the Democratic Party
42. They’re strengthening NATO command
43. I saw Bono at the Live Eight Concert
44. I’d buy anything endorsed by his brand
45. We’re gonna make poverty history
46. I’m on Facebook, taking a stand!
47. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
49. Sure once I was young and impulsive
50. I wore every conceivable pin
51. I fought for a socialist future,
52. Which I actually thought we could win
53. Ah, but I've grown older and wiser
54. And that's why I'm turning you in
55. So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
