Just for the Record



I don't understand playing the national anthem before sporting events. Is there something inherently patriotic about athletics? Are sports fans prone to forgetting in what country they are located?

I am a patriot

And I love my county

Because my country is all I know

I want to be with my family

The people who understand me

I've got nowhere else to go

...

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 I ain't no republican

I only know one party

And it 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...
