"I Am A Patriot" lyrics - PEARL JAM

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 brother
And he wondered, oh how I am
Said what I believe in my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And there's no turning back this time

I am a 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, what's on your mind?"
Said I want to run like the lions
Released from their cages
Released from the rages
Burning in my soul tonight

I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know

And I ain't no Communist
And I ain't no Socialist
And I ain't no capitalist
And I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no Democrat
Sure ain't no Republican either
I only know one party
And that is freedom
I am... I am... I am...

I am a 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...
