I Am An Old-Line Liberal
I am an old-line Liberal and proud of it, too
Though we are told liberalism is a dirty word,
Most Americans stand with me in the queue.
We liberals are willing to stand and be heard,
Always seeking what’s best for the majority
Though we are told liberalism is a dirty word.
Believing equal rights a Constitutional priority
All people should have the same opportunity,
Always seeking what’s best for the majority.
We stand for every citizen’s right to security
Equal pay for equal work; good medical care,
All people should have the same opportunity.
Our agenda demands clean water and pure air
Taking care of natural resources by regulation
Equal pay for equal work; good medical care!
Every child deserves a home, food, education
I am an old-line Liberal and proud of it, too
Taking care of natural resources by regulation
Most Americans stand with me in the queue.
