Bruce Springsteen - Born in the U.S.A. (Official Video)

[@gtob431]

I was always blown away to see this song played at ball games, political events seemingly depicting a proud America... Born in the USA. The true meaning of the song is protest and the suffering the veterans went through and what they dealt with in the war along with the pain they experienced when they returned home. The song has always been glorified as proud America when in fact it is a very sad and painful story of suffering and a lack of appreciation of all the lives lost and suffering that came out of this war.

[@natalierampone9750]

That's the way I look at it.

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

You can call the song "ironic", I guess. Even though it calls living in the US to be shitty. lol But the way it is sang and portrayed with the American flag and the way Scorcese filmed it with Bruce in leather and looking badass I think works against its message. Because frankly most people enjoy the rhythm of songs and don't listen to the lyrics. With this message, it probably needed to be approached like a Bob Dylan song. More quiet.

[@Goomba956]

My eldest brother, RIP, had lifelong issues with the lives he was forced to take...being called a baby killer upon his return did not help matters any. I agree with your commentary.

[@gaigetucker6242]

@@johnnyskinwalker4095 I'd definitely argue that's the point. It also shows and points out how simple and easy the US public is to manipulate, especially to those who see the songs lyrics. Like it doesn't work for the specific people who don't realize it however, it is yet another layer of criticism on the American people for how we treat veterans

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

@@gaigetucker6242 I think it's misunderstood from both side of the debate. I think the song and words are patriotic in a way that it doesn't demean what America represents but rather it says those veterans are important, they gave their lives for the country and we should do more for them. I mean it's pretty wholesome. But the video itself should perhaps have been more specific. Showing veterans in battles and then coming home and having a hard time, etc...Whereas in this state, the look of Bruce on stage is gung ho patriot righty and you show laid of workers which is a lefty message. And both don't work.

I am just stunned by how much of himself Bruce puts into this vocal performance. He is raging, incandescently angry, almost shouting the lyrics. At the end there is just a howl of pain with no words at all really. He is living this song.

The ironic thing is, this song is widely portrayed as being patriotic for reasons it isn't. Then people say its an anti america song. Both are wrong, it is one of the most patriotic songs there is, not because of praise for it's country, but because it calls out genuine issues. You don't have to blindly praise your country to be a patriot, the most patriotic thing you can do is call out and try improve your country's obvious flaws.

[@42Mrgreenman]

To me it's the official American lament of all the good that could have been in that era of middle class expansion but never came to pass because of conflict and fear...Instead we got Bataan, Khe sahn, and Mei Lai. Then Kuwait and Baghdad, and were still there in Anwar and Faluja...and when the men and women get home there wasn't and isn't even work for many of them, even down by the gas fires of the refineries these days...so we've spent the last 50 years literally burnin' down the road, leaving no where to run and nowhere to go.

One of my dad’s favorite songs of all times. His dad served during Vietnam and during that time, he inhaled fumes from tires that were being burned or something. After he obviously developed lung cancer, the VA denied that it was the government’s fault because my grandpa was a smoker so it was probably his fault. He was in poor health for the remainder of his life. My parents raised me to hate war, the politicians that support it, the recruiters that prey on the poor to keep their numbers up, and the military industrial complex but they also raised me to have the upmost respect for those that survived, came back and were forgotten by their own country despite offering their lives.

After line three, he's all gone, it is missing a line rhyming "gone" during the break, such as "He's the reason that I wrote this song, now" but the silence is powerful. Likewise, Saigon and arms don't rhyme, so there's more to the story there: "He had a woman he loved in Saigon I got a picture of him in her arms, now" How did he get the picture? Is he gone as in Gone AWOL? Or all gone, as in blown to smithereens?

It’s not misunderstood at all…a song can’t be misinterpreted…..the listener creates the meaning….the beauty of this song is that it’s vague enough to be claimed by many viewpoints, but at its heart it’s always seemed to me about an average working class guy who got in trouble, and as was common in those days, told by a Judge it’s jail or the army , so he joined the army. He had a rough time in the years after and when this song was written he would not even have been much past 35. It’s a common story from that time and era, and despite his problems the narrator still feels, in my opinion, proud to be born in the USA…his story is HIS story….it’s HIS personal American narrative. Plus, ole Bruce, he pumped himself up, ditched the earring, turned up the drums, appropriated the flag as much as sly Stallone in rocky four and Rambo 2….don’t lie to me and tell me he wasn’t trying to convey a jingoistic, traditionally patriotic message here….

[@jakeboromfc4375]

[Verse 1] 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 coverin' up [Chorus] Born in the U.S.A I was born in the U.S.A I was born in the U.S.A Born in the U.S.A [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Born in the U.S.A I was born in the U.S.A I was born in the U.S.A I was born in the U.S.A [Verse 3] 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" [Verse 4] I had a brother at Khe Sanh 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Chorus] Born in the U.S.A I was born in the U.S.A. now Born in the U.S.A I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. now Born in the U.S.A Born in the U.S.A Born in the U.S.A I'm a cool rockin' Daddy in the U.S.A. now

I'm ashamed to admit I had never really listened to the lyrics. I watched the movie Nike last night and the guy is talking about it was his first time understanding the lyrics he played every day on the way to work. I had to listen and it hits so different now. I had family who fought in the war. Hearing it and the soul he put into it I have tears in my eyes writing this. Much respect for all who served and my heart hurts so much hearing it. I was told how bad our vets was treated coming home and have seen the devastation to there minds and bodies years after coming back. This completely caught me off guard. My heart hurts for the vets families and I'll never think about this song the same 😢
