Not sure if this has been posted, but this is a classic.
Phil Ochs - Love me, I'm a liberal
I cried when they shot Medgar Evers Tears ran down my spine I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy As though I'd lost a father of mine
But Malcolm X got what was coming He got what he asked for this time So love me, love me Love me, I'm a liberal
I go to civil rights rallies And I put down the old D.A.R. I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don't talk about revolution That's going a little bit too far So love me, love me Love me, I'm a liberal
I cheered when Humphrey was chosen My faith in the system restored And I'm glad the commies were thrown out Of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
I love Puerto Ricans and Negros As long as they don't move next door So love me, love me Love me, I'm a liberal
The people of old Mississippi Should all hang their heads in shame I can't understand how their minds work What's the matter don't they watch Les Crain?
But if you ask me to bus my children I hope the cops take down your name So love me, love me Love me, I'm a liberal
Yes, I read New republic and Nation I've learned to take every view You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like Korea There's no one more red, white and blue So love me, love me Love me, I'm a liberal
I vote for the democratic party They want the U.N. to be strong I attend all the Pete Seeger concerts He sure gets me singing those songs
And I'll send all the money you ask for But don't ask me to come on along So love me, love me Love me, I'm a liberal
Sure once I was young and impulsive I wore every conceivable pin Even went to the socialist meetings Learned all the old union hymns
Ah, but I've grown older and wiser And that's why I'm turning you in So love me, love me Love me, I'm a liberal

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run, There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun; Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one, But the union makes us strong.
Chorus: Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, For the union makes us strong.
Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite, Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might? Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight? For the union makes us strong.
Chorus
It is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade; Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid; Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made; But the union makes us strong.
Chorus
All the world that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone. We have laid the wide foundations; built it skyward stone by stone. It is ours, not to slave in, but to master and to own. While the union makes us strong.
Chorus
They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn, But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn. We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn That the union makes us strong.
Chorus
In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold, Greater than the might of armies, multiplied a thousand-fold. We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong.

Why? I've gained a lot of respect for him lately, as he understands the situation around the globe better than most.
Waters has always been dope.
The Wall is still a masterpiece.
