Here's my 2024 version. Any folk musicians out there, feel free to use these as open source lyrics.
Love Me, I’m A liberal 2024
I cried when the cops killed George Floyd
tears ran down my spine
I cried when we lost Ruth Ginsburg
as though she was a grandmother of mine
But Assange, he 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 Black Lives Matter rallies
and I put down the Proud Boys from hell
I love Oprah, Obama and Beyonce,
I hope every Black person excels!
But don’t talk about abolishing prisons
that will not go over too well
**So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal**
I *CHEERED* when Harris was chosen
my faith in elections renewed
I’m glad that right wingers and radicals
got canceled and thrown off YouTube
And I love the Palestinian children,
but we MUST stop the Bad Orange Du-u-ude!
**So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal**
Oh, the white trash Donald Trump voters
should all hang their heads down low
I can’t understand how their minds work
Isn’t Schwarzenegger still their he-ro?
But if you ask me to defund the police,
my answer is No No No No-o-o
**So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal**
I watch both The View and Rachel Maddow
I try to see every side
I respect both George Bush and Dick Cheney
it’s a personal matter of pride
So when they all say hate Russia and China
you bet I’m along for that ride
**So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal**
I vote for the Democratic Party
to keep fascists from taking control
I support the Progressive Caucus
their policies sure are bold
And when it comes time for elections
I vote Blue, No Matter Who, as I’m told
**So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal**
Sure, once I was young and impulsive
supported free speech for every view
Even joined in the Occupy protests
solidarity was the thing to do
But now that I’ve grown older and wiser
I’ll report you for fact check review
**So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal**
