I Want to be a Member of the Liberal Elite
With all the political songs being posted here, I thought this one might be a refreshing change. I don't find it necessary or productive to insult those who hold opposing views by pointing out that they are idiots, which, of course, they are by definition because they disagree with me. 😉
The concept of the "liberal elite" has always amused me, not so much as a real thing (it isn't) but as a great example of certain sections of society's need to create an enemy and label it. But what if it actually existed? Surely it would be a great club to belong to LOL.

I WANT TO BE A MEMBER OF THE LIBERAL ELITE
I want to be a member of the liberal elite
Will somebody tell me where they meet?
I bet there’s always something good to eat
When the liberal elite meet
They wouldn’t let me into the NRA
When I said all them dead kids seemed a high price to pay
So I wouldn’t have to wait a whole day
To buy another gun
Oh, the liberal elite, the liberal elite
I want to be that guy
Tuned to NPR in his hybrid car
And who can really rock a bow tie
Watching Fox news, me and my dad
Shouting at the screen and getting real mad
But the doctor says our blood pressure’s bad
And we need to watch something else
Now we chuckle at Colbert and that Seth Myers
Is funny as heck, and it transpires
Those folks at Fox – their pants are on fire
And the smoke is bad for your health
Oh, the liberal elite, the liberal elite
I want to be that guy
Who removes his glasses, exuding class as
He discusses the issues of the day
I want to know merlott from cabernett
Sauvignon and have an accent that’ll get
Me into the smart intellectual set
Where I belong
To cultivate an air that’s haughty and aloof
To see George Soros’s cloven hoof
Make new friends like reason and truth
See what admitting I’m wrong
Feels like
Oh, the liberal elite, the liberal elite
I want to be that guy
Who makes it to the end of the opera and pretends
He wasn’t praying for them all to die
(SPOKEN)
But who are these smarty pants, do they exist outside the rants
Of Limbaugh and Hannity, an invention of insanity?
Applied to those who like to think by those who don’t
By those who like to hate to those who won’t
I’ve fin’lly learned to say merlot and cabernet
Wave my glasses in that intellectual way
So, to find they don’t exist would be a most unwelcome twist
Please tell me where to find them, I really must insist
I just want to be a member of the liberal elite
Won’t somebody tell me where they meet?
I bet there’s always something good to eat
When the liberal elite meet
Oh, the liberal elite, the liberal elite
I want to be that guy
At the end of the song, who was kidding all along
Unless I’m very badly wrong, I already belong
To the liberal elite

@OnlyGavin - I like these lyrics. true story, when my mom passed in the hospital, Fox news was on the tv. She died of a heart attack. To this day I say that Fox news killed her 😂

Political songs are a hot topic , I agree the name calling is ridiculous , I don't watch them shows Gavin like Fox News , Just a tad on latest news from feeds , but not much and not for to long , Doctors orders lol
Cool song man

Satire at its best, Gavin! An excellent song, well constructed and professionally contrived with superb rhyming schemes.
I wholeheartedly agree with the messages contained within the song and applaud your ability to inject very difficult words seamlessly into the narrative, "merlot and cabernet", brilliant.
Has an "Alice's Restaurant" vibe to it.
Well Done,
Sid

Beautifully done! But of course I have to agree with you or look like an idiot! Loved these lines in particular:
I want to know merlott from cabernett
Make new friends like reason and truth
If you start one, let me know, it sounds like fun. 😁

Thanks Bill. Fox News can be blamed for a lot of things, but maybe not that!

Thanks Elvis. I agree about the name calling. Political songs require a light touch. There is fun to be had, even if the underlying facts are serious.

It always gets out of hand , like Youtube vids on the left and right ranting and raving . I've never liked the system anyway , not enough unity
Well any way good song
