Little Steven: I AM A PATRIOT!
His speech at the beginning of this song he wrote is timeless and he made it in 1984! The Lyrics are below the video. He says "Don't just accept what you hear in the media or from the government and being a Patriot means you question every Fucking thing!" Listen to what he says! AWESOME!
Today when you call yourself a "Patriot" the government has made that synonymous with being a "terrorist." Because anyone who proclaims themselves a Patriot and standing up for Truth, Justice and the American Way as our country was founded is now considered a "threat" to the government. We Can't Back Down This Time!
I AM A PATRIOT!
Lyrics:
And the river opens for the righteous, someday
I was walking with my brother
And he wondered what was on my mind
I said what I believe in my soul
It ain't what I see with my eyes
And we can't turn our backs this time
I am a patriot and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
I want to be with my family
With people who understand me
I got nowhere else to go
I am a patriot
And the river opens for the righteous, someday
I was talking with my sister
She looked so fine
I said baby what's on your mind
She said I want to run like the lion
Released from the cages
Released from the rages
Burning in my heart 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 capitalist
And I ain't no socialist
and I sure ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat
And I ain't no republican either
And I only know one party
and its name is freedom
I am a patriot
And the river opens for the righteous, someday
Thanks for posting this video and lyrics. I really like Little Steven and the song is great.
