BORN IN THE U.S.A.                B. SPRINGSTEEN





BORN DOWN IN A DEAD MAN'S TOWN,

THE FIRST KICK I TOOK WAS WHEN I HIT THE GROUND.
 
END UP LIKE A DOG THAT'S BEEN BEAT TOO MUCH,

TILL YOU SPEND HALF YOUR LIFE JUST TO COVER IT UP NOW.

BORN IN THE USA

I WAS BORN IN THE USA
                  
I WAS BORN IN THE USA.

BORN IN THE USA NOW.

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 USA

I WAS BORN IN THE USA
                  
I WAS BORN IN THE USA.

BORN IN THE USA

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, NOW?".

I HAD A BROTHER AT KHESAN,

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 SHADOWN OF THE PENITENTIARY,

OUT BY THE GAS FIRES OF THE REFINERY,
         
I'M TEN YEARS BURNING DOWN THE ROAD.

NOWHERE TO RUN AIN'T NOWHERE TO GO.

BORN IN THE USA

I WAS BORN IN THE USA
                  
I WAS BORN IN THE USA.

I'M A LONG GONE DADDY IN THE USA, NOW.

BORN IN THE USA

I WAS BORN IN THE USA
                  
I WAS BORN IN THE USA.

I'M A COOL ROCKING DADDY IN THE USA, NOW.

BORN IN THE USA

I WAS BORN IN THE USA
                  
I WAS BORN IN THE USA.

   RIPETE SFUMANDO
