I’m on Facebook taking a stand So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal Sure once I was young and impulsive I wore every conceivable pin I fought for a socialist future, Which I actually thought we might win Ah, 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
