Pearl Jam - Patriot

Patriot

And the rivers shall open for the righteous...
And the rivers shall open for the righteous...
And the rivers shall open for the righteous someday...
I was walking with my brothe r,
And he wondered, oh how I am.
Said what I believe in my soul
Aint what I see with my eyes,
And the res no turning back this time.
Ima patriot, and I love my country,
Because my country is all I know.
Wanna be with my family,
People who understand me.
I got no place else to go.
I was walking with my girlfriend.
She looked so fine, I said
"Baby, whats on your mind?"
Said I want to run like the lions
Released from the ir cages...
Released from the rages
Burning in my soul tonight.
Ima patriot, and I love my country,
Because my country is all I know.
And I aint no communist,
And I aint no socialist,
And I aint no capitalist,
And I aint no imperialist,
And I aint no democrat,
Sure aint no republican eithe r,
I only know one party,
And that is freedom.
I am...I am...I am...
Ima patriot, and I love my country,
Because my country is all I know.
And the rivers shall open for the righteous,
And the rivers shall open for the righteous,
And the rivers shall open for the righteous someday...
Someday...someday...
