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 Abm 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
