Okay ... everybody knows the tune, everybody hums along and does the fist-pump when it's played at a football game or some other event, BUT: What's the boy REALLY sayin' here ... ? These are just the OPENING lyrics from 'Born In The USA', and it don't sound like he's all that fond of the place:
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 'Til you spend half your life just covering up [chorus:] Born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A. This ain't about appreciatin' - this is 'poor me' and 'I'm a victim' ... funny how a country that's so terrible provided him the opportunity for unimaginable wealth ... |
