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
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to a foreign land, to kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A. (x4)
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much (x4)
Born in the U.S.A. (x8)
Kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A. (x2)
Born in the U.S.A. (to kill the yellow man) (x26)
