Patriot lyrics

Artist  : Pearl jam 
Song : Patriot
 
(Steve Van Zandt) (various dates)

And the rivers shall open for the righteous  (2x)
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  (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous,
someday
Someday, someday, someday...
