pearl jam ILoveThisCountry[4-05-03] Lyrics

I wish I was a neutron bomb
for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice
but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental
ornament you hung on
the Christmas tree, I wish I was
the star that went on top

I wish I was the evidence
i wish I was the grounds
for fifty million hands up raised and opened toward the sky

I wish I was a sailor with
someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate
as fortunate as me

I wish I was a messenger
and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining
off a camaro's hood.

I wish I was an alien
at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir
you kept your house key on

I wish I was the pedal break
that you depended on
I wish I was the verb to trust
and never let you down

i wish i was the radio song
the song that said whatever it wanted
this is a free country
you should hear what you want to hear
you should hear what you want to hear
there's nothing that you shouldn't hear
hear, hear, in the land...
if this is the land of the free and the home of the brave
then the brave would be someone who's not afraid to say
to say, to say, anything, to say
what he feels
what he believes
what he knows
what he thinks
who he loves
who he loves
and what he loves
and what he loves
and who he loves
and what he loves
who he loves
i love you!
i love you!
i love you!
i'm not afraid to say
i love you
and i love this country too
