Born In The USA Songtext
von Liquid Blue

Oh, born down in a dead man′s town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
Ya end up like a dog that's been beat too much
′Til you spend half your life just coverin' up now

Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA
I was born in the USA, yeah

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
They sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man

Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA now


Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said, "Son, if it was up to me"
I went down to see my VA man
He said, "Son, don't you understand?"
I had a brother at Khe Sanh
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They′re still there, he′s all gone

He had a woman that he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run, ain′t got nowhere to go

I was born in the USA
Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
I'm a long-gone daddy in the USA

Born in the USA
Born in the USA
Born in the USA
I′m a cool rockin' daddy in the USA
