Thanks for the context clues - I'm super bored so I'm going to attempt to change the lyrics to match today's political landscape. It's not great and the beat doesn't always fit but ah well

I cried when they shot Medgar Evers

Tears ran down my spine

I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy

As though I'd lost a father of mine

But Malcolm X got what was coming

He got what he asked for this time

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I go to civil rights rallies

And I put down the old TEA Party

I love Idris and Will Smith and Wilmore

I hope every colored boy becomes a star

But don't talk about revolution

That's going a little bit too far

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I cheered when Bernie was chosen

My faith in the system restored

I'm glad the commies were thrown out

of the CP-USA board

I love Puerto Ricans and Negros

as long as they don't move next door

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

The people of North Carolina

Should all hang their heads in shame

I can't understand how their minds work

It's like they don't watch John Oliver

But if you ask me to support BLM

I hope the cops take down your name

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I read the Guardian and Jacobin

I've learned to take every view

You know, I've memorised Colbert and Stewart

I feel like I'm almost a Jew

But when it comes to times like Iraq

There's no one more red, white and blue

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I vote for the democratic party

They want the N.A.T.O. to be strong

I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts

He sure gets me singing those songs

I'll send all the money you ask for

But don't ask me to come on along

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

Once I was young and impulsive

I wore every conceivable pin

Even went to the socialist meetings

Learned all the old union hymns

But I've grown older and wiser

And that's why I'm turning you in

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
