Liberal Backslider Songtext
von Martyn Joseph

I′m a liberal backslider I've been sliding ′bout ten years
People ask me how I'm doin' and I confirm all their fears
I′m swearing like a trooper, and I′m drinking like a bum
I'm a liberal backslider and it sure is a lot of fun
Been Following these footsteps now for many a year gone by
But you always upset someone there no matter how you try
Well the good things they′re forgotten if a bad thing comes around
Now all these stones are flyin' they′re gonna knock me to the
Ground
I'm a liberal backslider


I take a stand on justice, I take a stand on race
Gonna take me a TV evangelist and punch him in the face
I sing about the hope that′s in me and ask why the poor aren't fed
But if I don't tow the party line, it′s be better if I were dead
I′m a liberal backslider
So I'll be asking for forgiveness then until the day I die
Though I can′t be sure of what I've done I think I′d better try
Thank God you're not the jury, thank God I′m not the judge
Here's to a bigger picture, here's to the bigger love!
I′m a liberal backslider
