I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored
And I'm glad that the commies were thrown out
From the AFL-CIO board
And I love Puerto Ricans and Negroes
As long as they don't move next door
So love me, love me, love me I'm a liberal.
The people of old Mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame
I can't understand how their minds work
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crane?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal...
Phil Ochs had it nailed, oh, so long ago now....
Ochs was a Marxist/anarchist "folksinger" who eventually killed himself. There were some pearls in his work but the context was red.
