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 USA I was born in the USA I was born in the USA Born in the USA Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand Send 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 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' 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 USA I was born in the USA 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 rocking Daddy in the USA  corrected on 30-01-2006 |

 95 posts | I think part of the reason this song is misinterpreted is because other than "Born in the USA" you can't hear the lyrics very clearly. |

4 posts | this song is about the soldiers who came back from vietaim after all this time, and nobody's doing anything for them.
they have to start all over after all this time of fighting for their country. it's about giving it all for your country and getting non back... |

2 posts | This song isn't about not being proud of america, or hating america. It takes two countries to have a war, and to just blame america because they did or didn't do something is just wrong. That's not what the song is about. It's about an american soldier who faught in vietnam. It has nothing to do with be ashamed of America, the song is strictly about the soldier, watch VH1, I usually don' but they had the greatest 80's song countdown on. |

This is such a good song. The drum solo at the end is wickedly hard. |

7 posts | I am proud to be born in the USA too, but that is NOT what this song is about at all. It is almost like he ashamed or embarrased to be an American because of how we treat war, violence, and death in this country. |

13 posts | I think the lyrics are saying about how He isn't proud to be born here because of the war and stuff. Am I correct or am I misinterperating the lyrics?
But anyway, great song |
