| Song Lyrics: |
words and music by Roy Zimmerman
© 1993, 1995 Watunes (BMI)
(From "Folk Heroes" [Metaphor], "Folk Heroes" [Reprise] and "The Best of the Foremen")
I saw a blinding flash of light
So I pulled over to the first church on the right
And I feel so good, ain't no doubt
Wanna laugh and shout about it
'Cause I once was a liberal
But I ain't no liberal no more
I saw a bum on the curb today
Well, I hit the gas and covered him with gutter spray
And I feel so good, ain't no doubt
Wanna laugh and shout about it
'Cause I once was a liberal
But I ain't no liberal no more
My heart is jumpin' and my head is swimmin'
I feel like I could take the vote away from women
And I feel so good, ain't no doubt
Wanna laugh and shout about it
'Cause I once was a liberal
But I ain't no liberal no more
On that joyful day, yes on that glorious day
The day I threw my Birkenstocks away
The angel told me, "Oh, ye man of sin,
Open up your bleeding heart and let Pat Buchanan in!"
I saw a starving third world nation
So I exploited its underprivileged population
And I feel so good, ain't no doubt
Wanna laugh and shout about it
'Cause I once was a liberal
But I ain't no liberal no more
Now, I support all my neighbors of color
And their attempts to make that color a little duller
And I feel so good, ain't no doubt
Wanna laugh and shout about it
'Cause I once was a liberal
But I ain't no liberal no more
Oh, on that joyful day, yes on that glorious day
The day I burned up all my macramé
The angel told me what is good for GM
Is good for me, and me, and me
And the hell with the rest of them
I used to be so paranoid
But now I'm — what?!
I feel so good, ain't no doubt
Wanna laugh and shout about it
'Cause I once was a liberal
But I ain't no liberal
And I once was a peacenik
But I bought stock in Lockheed
And I once was a union man
But I got me this nice office
And I once was a feminist
But I just don't understand women
And I once supported rent control
But I inherited some property
And I once was anti-censorship
But I don't have time for fiction
And I once hated racism
But I figure, why fight it?
And I once had compassion
But I ain't no liberal no more
