Pearl Jam - Patriot lyrics

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 ami ami 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 somedaysomeday
