Night is here again, baby
I'm stretched out on my bed
Seeing all kinds of crazy notions
Running through my head;
I need a progressive woman;
I need an awfully liberal woman;
Ain't no reactionary baby
Can ease my revolutionary mind
One hand is on my pillow
One hand is on my head
I see a million nightmares
Tearing around inside my head;
I need a progressive woman
I need an awfully liberal woman
I need a social conscious woman
To ease my revolutionary mind
If I could only make you see, babe
I ache and pain and bleed
I know you'd come a runnin'
If you blistered both your feet
I need a progressive woman;
I need an awful liberal woman;
I need an open minded mama
To ease my revolutionary mind
If you could see me here, baby
Broke out with salty sweat;
No matter where you go I know
You never could forget
I need a progressive woman;
I need a liberal thinking woman;
I need an open hearted mama
To ease my revolutionary mind
I ain't no lumpen proletariat
And I ain't no petty bourgeoisie
But I'm gonna be a cold corpse
If you don't run here to me
I need a progressive shipmate;
I need a liberous nature lover
But no reactionary female
Can ease my revolutionary mind
If you're a republican or a democrat
Or a white hood Ku Klux Klan
No use to ring my doorbell
'Cause I'll never be your man
I want a union working woman
I want a progressive liberous woman
I want a nice progressive mama
To ease my revolutionary mind
