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 COVERING UP NOW
BORN IN THE USA
I WAS
BORN IN THE USA

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 KILL
THE YELLOW MAN I WAS
BORN IN THE USA
BORN IN THE USA AH
