Born in the USA Lyrics

“Born in the USA” lyrics showed the true heart of Bruce Springsteen and made him the hero of working people everywhere.

Born in the USA Lyrics:
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

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

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "Son, don't you understand"

I had a brother at Khe Sahn fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone

He had a woman 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

Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.

Born in the USA: The Boss
Bruce Springsteen lyrics have always been about the brave struggle of hard-working Americans, and over the years, the Boss has developed a universal appeal that no artist can match. Bruce Springsteen tickets sold to millions of fans from all walks of life after the release of classic song “Born to Run”. Later songs like “Nebraska” and “Thunder Road” would become slices of Americana, but the legend of Bruce Springsteen would be created with song “Born in the USA”.

Born in the USA: Song Meaning
Wrongly interpreted as a pure love song for America, “Born in the USA” followed the story of a working-class protagonist that was sent to the Vietnam War, only to return to a hostile reception. With all the usual passion and muted pain that most of Bruce Springsteen’s best songs exude, the lyrics of “Born in the USA” appealed to an entire generation that was affected by the war and even sold Bruce Springsteen tickets and albums to people who only understood the chorus, without exploring the rest of the words.

In modern times, “Born in the USA” has had cultural implications in American society, with new fans applying the themes to present wars and conflicts. A story of patriotism and criticism, “Born in the USA” remains relevant and perhaps has become even more popular in recent days. Bruce Springsteen continues to stir up American passions with songs like “The Rising”, but “Born in the USA” remains one of the top songs in music history.

Born in the USA: On Tour
Bruce Springsteen is in the new again, thanks to a gangbusters performance at the Super Bowl and an Oscar nomination for song “The Wrestler”. But the real news for fans of the Boss is a 2009 concert tour that is bound to sell a ton of tickets and set records to boot. With thousands of fans a night singing along to a set list that includes “Born in the USA”, “Born to Run”, and “Better Days”, the 2009 Bruce Springsteen tour is destined to be the music event of the year.
