Are you liberal tonight?
Are your thoughts far from right?
Does your memory stray
to a brighter sunny day
when Bill Clinton lived in the White House?
Do the rants of Al Franken seem empty and bare?
Do the Hollywood has-beens really seem to care?
Does your life need a lift, from old Eleanor Clift?
Tell me dear, are you liberal tonight?
(parlando:)
I wonder if you're liberal, not right
Social Security is your pet plan, and Medicare's a hoot
Whoever's money is spent is really quite moot
Act one was F.D.R.*, you loved him at first glance
Packing the court to give his leftist agenda a chance
Then L.B.J.** brought us Vietnam and Medicaid, and why I'll never know
Jimmy Carter couldn't free the hostages***, and government spending was high
But you'd rather hear those Democrat lies than go on living responsibly...
Now we are all slaves to socialist views****
with emptiness all around
If you won't free me from these chains,
in your lib cesspool I will drown.
Does your life need a lift, from old Eleanor Clift?
Tell me dear, are you liberal tonight?

****Die meisten Europ�er haben es ja noch nicht so ganz mitbekommen; aber seit einigen Jahren ist die "Obamanation" sozialistischer als der SU-Nachfolger Ru�land - das damit verglichen geradezu kapitalistisch ist. Vielleicht ist der "Kalte Krieg" auch deshalb wieder entbrannt, blo� mit umgekehrten Vorzeichen?!
