Lyrics I Am A Patriot - Live - 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
Tell 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, 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 was walking with my boyfriend
He looked so fine, I said
"Baby, what's on your mind?"
I want to run like the lions
Released from the 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 democrat
And I ain't no capitalist
And I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat
And I've never been republican either
Never been republican either
I only know one party, and that is freedom

I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot, 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
Someday
Someday
