I just realized "bus my children" still fits because instead of segregation like the original song, the modern fit is the disdain for public transportation.
@@Invisibledrone- the whole point of busing children, if you actually ask the children in the predominantly black schools who had white kids brought in, they will tell you half jokingly that overnight the pot holes where paved over, the roof was fixed, and the linoleum was policed to a shine. It worked. White liberals couldnt stand the thought of their precuous white babies having to go to school in some ramshackled outdated school. They would allocate money to the black school because it had white kids in it. The black students will tell you that was the only reason they got funding and the only way they ever would.
Amber Skye Naw. You can fund schools that are black and hold governments accountable to make sure they’re equal. You’re saying American education can only be fixed by forcing children to go to schools not in their communities. That seems rather odd. I’m pretty sure a lot of liberals who you hear clapping in Phil Ochs’ live recording of the song sent their kids to all white private schools. Politicians who pushed those laws were often elites forcing working class whites and blacks to go through some unproven social engineering that didn’t apply to the rich kids.
You've captured the moral bankruptcy of modern liberalism beautifully here. Just goes to show that no matter much time passes, things keep repeating themselves. Hopefully we can end this cycle in the years to come.
Really? I think you mean modern conservatism. What's morally bankrupt is most of our current GOP. Where was their outrage when Trump sided with Putin while throwing the U.S. govt. under the bus at the Helsinki meeting? Also they didn't seem to have a problem with Trump blocking important witnesses when they were subpoena'd. It'll be interesting to see what John Bolton has to say in his new book about the Quid Pro Quo. A few in the Senate GOP even admitted Schiff proved his case against Trump but they didn't have the moral courage to vote for his removal.
@pjd412 Repubs. in general do far less for the working class and far more for their corporate friends. Most of the reason Trump was elected was due people getting tired of establishment politicians hence looking for someone different and exciting.
@@spiritofwoodstock6520 Eh, not so fast. Phil Ochs, who wrote the original version, was just slightly to the right of Vladimir Putin. The song was poking fun at people who proclaim how woke they are to fit in at school or work, but might in real life be every bit as conservative as their next-door neighbor in the red MAGA cap.
Holy shit that just might be worse than the weird middle-school cheerleader song at that one trump rally. woof. Also pleasantly surprised by this LessThree update
Oh, definitely. The Democratic Party isn't ready to let go of their strategy of manipulative centrist false aspiration, but the years when that tactic won elections are for sure solidly in the past. Can't relate to the nostalgia for early TH-cam, though, I only started really looking into the right-wing propaganda dominating this (mostly) cesspit in like mid-2016.

Great update to this song. Being one on the far left the word "liberal" has been destroyed by the democratic party and I won't use it anymore to describe myself. So disgusted and your rendition of this song helps express this disgust towards the democrats and the republicans.
LessThree I love when you say you "always take Israel's side" your eyes couldn't roll any more. Also breaking the "glass ceiling" and the revolution going "a little too far" also Obama "Continuing Bush's wars" also "Honorable democratic bombs" also "don't talk to me about repetitions because I earned everything I got." absolutely beautiful man! Love me love me love me cause I'm a liberal!
Currie Dobson haha! Thanks man!! That's awesome that you noticed the eye roll. I don't think that was even intentional. Just couldn't help it I guess! :)
This is the best reimagining ive seen so far; the new lyrics are fantastic, but I love how a good half of the song remains virtually untouched, really hammers in home how little progress we've made. great work!!
This song could probably be rewritten once or twice a week and you still would have to leave a bunch of shit out. Good job on this! I chuckled when you mentioned All Things Considered.

Fantastic, comrade! Always been a fan of the old Union/socialist/anarchist songs and it's nice to see em alive, well and updated. Also glad the spirit ain't dead and we're still writing great originals. Keep it up!

Brown--7/4/16) I cried when they shot Trayvon Martin It hit me with a sudden chill And I cried for Ferguson and Garner The brutality was unreal But these young hip-hop thugs really scare me I hope they can be brought to heel. So love me, love me, love me. I'm a liberal. I cheered when we elected Obama With his message of change and of hope It's a shame how Republicans treat him I just don't know how he can cope.

These last primaries I voted Sanders He says what I've always believed But now he's in the way of unity We have to stop Trump, can't you see? So I'll gladly proclaim “I'M WITH HILLARY!” As she marches us to World War Three So love me, love me, love me. I'm a liberal.

So love me, love me, love me. I'm a liberal.
I was skeptical at first (the Bernie line sounded a bit like something a liberal trying to co-opt this song would write) but you really got me in the second half, that was well done.
Hey LessThree, I have always been a fan of Phil's work. I am overjoyed it lives on through you. This is a message that needs to be spread now days. Thank you for your hard work. I wll be sharing your video far and wide.

The Orwellian re-writing of history - witness it happen in real time. "What a wonderful example they've set." "We will dearly miss this wonderful family." "What a kind and gentle man." "Such a great leader, he is dearly missed." These are comments that I am _still_ coming across, often! As people proudly brandish the Obama family on their facebook page.
The Gaza line has aged so well I'm gonna cry
The fact that the "as long as they don't move next door" line was basically unchanged and still fits is *deeply* depressing.
Right? Some things never change. Ugh...

@@chrisnorton1316 you sound like an old man from 1952
Now you know what your hermaphroditic daddy mama sounds like.
Liberals don't even come to socialist meetings, I'd substitute it with pride rallies
Given the song's usually about older liberals, I could see it being about some old demsoc who went full liberal
Maybe like "Even went to some Cornel West readings, learned all the old union hymns"?
In the original it is "when I was young I went to socialist meetings."
I think it's pretty common to leave the final two verses unchanged
Nah cause when they were younger they went, but now they're "older and wiser" so they're turning you in for being a Socialist. Lol
I just realized "bus my children" still fits because instead of segregation like the original song, the modern fit is the disdain for public transportation.
whisperingsage yes! Great point!
Bussing children was always dumb imo. Just fund schools fairly. Having kids go to school an hour away from their community is crazy.

“I mourned at the Mexican prisoners
Those ICE camps sent a chill down my spine
And I cried at the children in cages
As if they were children of mine
But don’t ask for any donation
I won’t dare to waste a dime
So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal.
I watch CNN and NBC
I’ve learned to take every view
I’ve learned to believe in all women
I’ve learned to support #MeToo
But if you were harassed by Bill Clinton
I put the blame all on you
So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal.
I swear to fight for truth and justice
And end police brutality
I support Black Lives Matter
Because we want equality
But if they don’t vote for Joe Biden,
Then they’re far from reality
So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal.”
Change Clinton to Biden. Tara Reade? Great lyrics!!!

Nice! Here's my take:
Love Me, I'm a Liberal, 2016 (Russell D. Brown--7/4/16)
I cried when they shot Trayvon Martin
It hit me with a sudden chill
And I cried for Ferguson and Garner
The brutality was unreal
But these young hip-hop thugs really scare me
I hope they can be brought to heel.
So love me, love me, love me. I'm a liberal.
I cheered when we elected Obama
With his message of change and of hope
It's a shame how Republicans treat him
I just don't know how he can cope.
But you can't expect him to do too much
There's no sense in rocking the boat
So love me, love me, love me. I'm a liberal.
These last primaries I voted Sanders
He says what I've always believed
But now he's in the way of unity
We have to stop Trump, can't you see?
So I'll gladly proclaim “I'M WITH HILLARY!”
As she marches us to World War Three
So love me, love me, love me. I'm a liberal.
I think people should love who they want to
And be whatever they want to be
So, though I am heterosexual
I proudly stand for equality
I love gays, lesbians and transgenders
As long as they don't have to pee!
So love me, love me, love me. I'm a liberal.
These old conservatives sure are crazy.
I can't believe half the things that they say
But these young punk kids are no better
Always hellbent on having their way
All their talk about revolution
Makes me fear for my 401k
So love me, love me, love me. I'm a liberal.
Climate change is a clear present danger
Growing exponentially every day
Winter's summer and summer is winter
Due to environmental decay
It's obvious we must take action
So let's all bow our heads and pray
So love me, love me, love me. I'm a liberal.
The bank owns my home and my two cars
I make four-hundred dollars a week
I'm routinely told to work overtime
My God, how I wish I could sleep
But I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I am free!
So love me, love me, love me. I'm a liberal.
Nice!!
Brilliant!!!
That last verse tho.
You forgot to add China owns your house part. LOL
That's great!
