Patriot Lyrics - 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. 

Said what I believe in 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. 

Wanna be with my family, 

People who understand me. 

I got no place else to go.

I was walking with my girlfriend. 

She looked so fine, I said 

"Baby, what's on your mind?" 

Said I want to run like the lions 

Released from their cages... 

Released from the rages 

Burning in my soul tonight. 

I am a patriot, and I love my country, 

Because my country is all I know. 

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 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, 

And the rivers shall open for the righteous, 

And the rivers shall open for the righteous someday... 

Someday... someday...
