The War Against Truth - Love Me, I'm a (Neo)liberal (Acoustic)

From August 23, 2020 ... Shaun performed an acoustic version of the cover version we did of Phil Ochs' classic "Love Me, I'm a Liberal". Here's the link for his version, which we recommend you check out as well. https://youtu.be/0nFvhhCulaw

We'd updated the lyrics for the times we were in then, as others such as Jello Biafra & Mojo Nixon, Ben Grosscup and Ron Placone (check out their versions, too!) have also done over the years. We fully expect others will have to do the same thing down the road as well. We call our version "Love Me, I'm a (Neo)liberal". - The War Against Truth

Lyrics to Love Me, I'm a (Neo)liberal:
I cried when they murdered George Floyd
In cold blood and broad daylight
And I cried when they shot Breonna Taylor
Like she was a sister of mine
The protesters shouldn't be looting
But the CARES Act is totally fine
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a neoliberal.

I faithfully consume mainstream media
CNN and MSNBC
Propaganda 24/7
And I nod approvingly
When Maddow pushes false narratives
Consent's manufactured indeed
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a neoliberal.

I'll happily vote for Joe Biden
I'll vote blue no matter who
And I'll shame you if you don't agree with me
You're not allowed to have a different view
Trump's evil and needs to be ousted
Though Joe's just a corporate shill, too
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a neoliberal.

I was outraged when Garland was shafted
The GOP had never sunk so low
When Dr. Ford brought forth allegations
I was sure that Kavanaugh would go
But now that Tara Reade has come forward
My hypocrisy's starting to show
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a neoliberal.

The war in Iraq is a travesty
Bush and Cheney should have got their due
Obama started five wars
And won a Nobel Prize, too!
When we're at war with Iran and China
There will be no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a neoliberal.

I'm keenly aware of my white privilege
I don't know where to begin
Every vote I cast is for candidates
Who want the playing field even
But when I'm at the park and feel threatened
Is the moment I'm turning you in
So love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me
I'm a neoliberal.
