The Patriot
It's hovering high in a thunderous sky
So bright,and again so benign
It's telling me everything comes at a cost
That everything comes by design
I'm humbled and wiping a tear on my sleeve
So many like machiavelli believe
It's easy for cheats, finding folks to deceive
They tell me how liberty comes at a price
That no price is ever too high
When devils are driving the wind to the sails
The patriot never asks why
So there in a clearing on midsummer's eve
I offer to die for the things they believe
It's easy for cheats, finding folks to deceive
You can say it's a chauvinist, partisan view
And something we've known all along
The one thing we're not, in the games that we play
Is ever conceivably wrong
We're grateful for what we're about to receive
If God's in his heaven, you wouldn't believe
It's easy for cheats, finding folks to deceive
It's only through accident, fortune of birth
We follow the lives that we lead
Defending our freedoms insisted upon
Defending imposing our creed
Then somebody says it,"We're being naive!"
I think I'll apply for compassionate leave
It's easy for cheats,finding folks to deceive
So bright,and again so benign
It's telling me everything comes at a cost
That everything comes by design
I'm humbled and wiping a tear on my sleeve
So many like machiavelli believe
It's easy for cheats, finding folks to deceive
They tell me how liberty comes at a price
That no price is ever too high
When devils are driving the wind to the sails
The patriot never asks why
So there in a clearing on midsummer's eve
I offer to die for the things they believe
It's easy for cheats, finding folks to deceive
You can say it's a chauvinist, partisan view
And something we've known all along
The one thing we're not, in the games that we play
Is ever conceivably wrong
We're grateful for what we're about to receive
If God's in his heaven, you wouldn't believe
It's easy for cheats, finding folks to deceive
It's only through accident, fortune of birth
We follow the lives that we lead
Defending our freedoms insisted upon
Defending imposing our creed
Then somebody says it,"We're being naive!"
I think I'll apply for compassionate leave
It's easy for cheats,finding folks to deceive
