I am a Patriot performed by Pearl Jam

My favorite line from the song: And I ain't no Democrat so I ain't no Republican
I only know one party and it is freedom


And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday

I was walking with my brother and he wondered what's on my mind
I said, “What I believe in my soul ain't what I see with my eyes
And there is no turning back this time”

I am a patriot and I love my county
Because my country is all I know
I want to be with my family people who understand me
I've got nowhere else to go

And I was talking with my boyfriend, he looked so fine
I said, "Baby, what's on your mind?"
"I want to run like the lion 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 Capitalist
And I ain't no Socialist and I ain't no Imperialist
And I ain't no Democrat and sure as fuck aint 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 county is all I know

And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
Someday

And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
And the river opens for the righteous
