You say that I'm weak
'Cause I won't back your war
You say I'm on the enemy's side
'Cause I'm not on yours
You say you fight for freedom
And the right to choose
But then you try to silence my voice, well
You got another thing comin' to you, 'cause
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
It don't make us safe
When you're on the attack
If you put your fist in someone's face
He'll knife you in the back
All the good books says it ain't right
To steal and kill
You won't take their oil or our money
And drag us down the road to hell, no
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
I wanna live in a country that's safe
In a land that's clean and free
For every colour and culture
Every person, every belief
You greed, your fears and your lies
Ain't gonna push me around
I'm gonna use the power I have
I'm gonna vote you right outta that house, 'cause
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
I am a patriot, I ...am a patriot.
'Cause I won't back your war
You say I'm on the enemy's side
'Cause I'm not on yours
You say you fight for freedom
And the right to choose
But then you try to silence my voice, well
You got another thing comin' to you, 'cause
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
It don't make us safe
When you're on the attack
If you put your fist in someone's face
He'll knife you in the back
All the good books says it ain't right
To steal and kill
You won't take their oil or our money
And drag us down the road to hell, no
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
I wanna live in a country that's safe
In a land that's clean and free
For every colour and culture
Every person, every belief
You greed, your fears and your lies
Ain't gonna push me around
I'm gonna use the power I have
I'm gonna vote you right outta that house, 'cause
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
I am a patriot, I am a patriot
I am a patriot, I ...am a patriot.

"I have many good friends in the United States. They love their country and wish to protect it against the policies of the present US administration. Their disagreement with their government is a democratic, patriotic act. This song is their voice, and I dedicate it to them - the true Patriots." -Sam Turton.
