Title: I Am A Patriot
written by Jackson Browne and performed by Pearl Jam
I was walking, with my brother,
And he wondered, how I am.
I said what I believe with my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes,
And there's no turning back this time.
I was walking with my girlfriend.
I was drunk on wine. It was the only way I could ease my mind.
I said I want to run like a lion
Released from their cages...
Released from the rages
Burning in my soul tonight.
I'm a patriot, and I love my country,
Because my country is all I know.
I want to be with my family, people who understand me.
I've got no place left to go.
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 as fuck ain’t no Republican either,
I only know one party,
I only know one party,
And that is freedooooooom.
Yes freedooooom...freeeeee...
And the river shall open for the righteous,
And the river shall open for the righteous,
And the river shall open for the righteous someday...
Someday...someday...someday...soooooome...
