Testo Born in the U.S.A. - DIESEL
Testo della canzone Born in the U.S.A. (DIESEL), tratta dall'album If Love Ever Finds Me Again
Yeah, you might have been born in the U.S.A. boys
But y'all forgot what that really means
I wasn't raised with silver spoons
Had grease-stained jeans and barroom tunes
I worked the line and drove all night
While they sold dreams under TV lights
Now they sing about towns they never see
Living up high in luxury
Old Johnny Cougar walked off mid-show
Left his fans out in the cold
And Bruce Springsteen, I heard you preach in shame
Like this land should take the blame
You were born here, raised in pride
Now all you do is run and hide
I was born in the U.S.A
Where the flags still wave and the broke still pray
Where we don't forget the ones who fight
And we damn sure stand for what is right
You can sell your soul and ride away
But I ain't changing for the fame
I'm Diesel, proud and true, win or lose
I bleed red, white and blue
Johnny sang about a small-town life
Now he's got walls so tall they block the sky
Got rich off folks he left behind
But says he's one of us, ain't that a lie?
I see fake love in a Hollywood frame
I see artists that forgot their name
Singing songs about struggle and grace
While they fly first class out of place
I was born in the U.S.A
Where we work hard and we earn our pay
Where a handshake still means something
And old glory ain't up for judgment
You don't like it, that's okay
But don't spit on the flag that gave you your stage
I'm Diesel, loud and true
And I'll always back the red, white and blue
This ain't hate, this is fact
You forgot who put your name on that platinum plaque
While you're bashing the place that gave you breath
We're still plowing fields and starving to death
I was born in the U.S.A
Where we don't run when the skies turn gray
Where the weak get strong and the strong don't brag
We help each other without a tag
You got fame, we got fame, you got rich, we still wait
But I'm Diesel, tried and true
And I'd rather be broke than forget the red, white and blue
Yeah Bruce, you were born in the U.S.A
But I live it, every damn day
Diesel, loud!
