PEARL JAM - Patriot lyrics

rate me

And the rivers shall open for the righteous (X2)

And the rivers shall open for the righteous,someday

I went walking,with my brother

And he wondered,oh,how I am

Said what I believe with 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

I wanna be with my family

People who understand me

I got no place else to go...

I am a patriot...

I went walking,with my girlfriend

She looked so fine,I said,"Baby,what's on your mind?"

She said,"I wanna run like the lions

Released from their cages

Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight"

I am a patriot...

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

I 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 (X2)

And the rivers shall open for the righteous,someday

Someday,someday,someday...
