I AM A PATRIOT

by anonymous

I WAS WALKING WITH MY BROTHER

AND HE WONDERED OF HOW I AM

I SAID WHAT I BELIEVE IN MY SOUL

IT AIN’T WHAT I SEE IN 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 LEFT TO GO

I AM A PATRIOT

I WAS WALKING WITH MY BROTHER…

NO, THAT AIN’ T RIGHT, MORE LIKE THIS…

I WAS WALKING WITH MY BOYFRIEND

HE LOOKED SO FINE, I SAID, “BABY, WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND?”

“I WANNA RUN LIKE THE LIONS

RELEASED FROM THEIR CAGES

RELEASED FROM MY 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

AIN’T NO F****** REPUBLICAN, EITHER

I ONLY KNOW ONE PARTY

AND THAT IS FREEDOM!

AND MY COUNTRY IS ALL I KNOW
