Love Me, I’m a Liberal (Remixed)

(Based on Phil Och’s Satire)

 

Movements I start on Facebook Causes
On Twitter, I maneuver the trends
Arab Spring was my handiwork
All Girls in the Blue Bra my friends 
I ‘Like’ Occupy Wall Street Page
My rage are my thirty daily updates
Love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

Hillary Rosen is my ideal worker 
For denying any war on women 
Hillary Clinton is a staunch feminist
Forgiving Bill and chivalrous military men
I am all for equal pay and women’s rights
Just don’t wanna give this system a bad name   
Love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

Indefinite detention, murder without trials
I love my Democrats for such new laws 
Let protestors get arrested in thousands 
Online petitions my progressive straws
War Economy can be in peacetime now
Obama’s concerns for us certainly shows
Love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

North Korean rockets and Iranian assets
Enough to assault American freedom
NYPD shoots unarmed black teenagers
Nothing ill I see in our law and order system
Racism’s dead, my president’s above colors
KKK sites operate, but Megaupload must be gone
Love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

Colonel Gaddafi or Bradley Manning
Who dares terrorize our invincible might
Freedom we love, so freedom we’re granting
We define wrong and right, and freedom’s limit
NY Times and the Nation, views they are shaping
I may want free healthcare, but I ain’t a communist 
Love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

First lady loves hot couture, and healthy breakfasts
I’m into Vegan diets, Food Inc, and saving animals
Sarah Palin is the rival, Bill O’Reilly talks so crass
Gingrich the molester, Santorum insults Lord Jesus
Battle is set, purpose thought out, victory I shall amass
Reelect Obama: my goal, only a Democrat can be my boss
Love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal
