Song about what patriotism REALLY is--taking care of one's country.

Sheryl writes social and political songs dealing with issues she thinks need addressing.
Sheryl got ambitious to write songs while living in New Zealand, but it wasn't till Bush threatened to invade Iraq that she actually was motivated to get off her duff and produce the Pied Piper of Crawford. Singer/Songwriter Maria Larson was so kind to play guitar for me in it. Then she took on her song The Patriot Call with the kind help of her ex-boyfriend Mark Camann and hre kind friend Charles Peterson. Since then , Sheryl met Talysman (aka urbeatle) on a dating website, and he told her about the online band he was in called The InterrÃbang Cartel. She uploaded one of her song ideas onto the forum there, where Major Zed and ?!Charlie started working with her to make it into a reality. It's really almost as much Major Zeds as hers at this point; he put so much work and creative thought into it. But they are both happy parents of that song. :-)

Story behind the song
I was motivated to write this song due to the misinterpretation that patriotism is about killing people when a leader shoves an unwilling country into war.
Lyrics
In this country there's a choice If you want to raise your voice. When our leaders aren't aware Of the homeless in despair, And are eager to avoid Problems of the unemployed, Patriots will take a stand To protect their fatherland. Chorus: All our battles and our fights Help to save our civil rights, Make our country strong and free And help restore democracy. If you vote, that's just the start Now consider taking part. If we want our problems solved Everyone must get involved. That means you, and that means me, Even if we don't agree. People must participate In a democratic state.   Chorus
