Springsteen On The Radio – WhiteRabbitGeometry Lyrics

Springsteen on the radio

Singing about the promised dream

I was born in the USA

But I don’t know what that means

Born in the USA

Born in the USA

Land of the brave

At least that’s what they say

A melting pot of diversity & inclusion

It’s a line they don’t believe in, it’s a lie, an illusion

How you gonna front & talk of bravery

While you hide behind the same flag used to justify slavery

Taken from their land by the shadow of white hands

Now their children only know the names that they’ve been handed

Cause they’re

Born in the USA

They call it the United States

But the only thing uniting them is hate

Born in the USA

Born in the USA

You wrap yourself in freedom when it’s convenient to see

But the stains bleed through the colors when it comes to accountability

Ol' Bruce tell me what you see

Cause it don't look like much of a dream to me

Ain't no promised land on these city streets

Just another mother praying her kids come home to sleep

Just another brother kneeling on a grave that’s dug too deep

Born in the USA

Land of the great

That's what they tell me every day

But if we're all Americans

Why we still living worlds away

Why we still fighting over scraps

So the rich man can play

Taken from their land by the shadow of white hands

Now generations of children never know how they began

Trying to trace their roots through footprints in the sand

History ain't dead, it's remembered in the homeland

And every stolen child is another lost lamb

Ol' Bruce tell me

This is still the land of the free

Cause I need something hopeful that I can believe

They say that this is freedom all I see is irony

Turn on the television & what’s on the screen?

The same old story playing on repeat

They dropping bombs on people who just trying to eat

Half a world away but kidnapping people off our streets

Iraq Iran ironic how long til it happens to me?

Born in the USA

Living under the thumb of the state

Born in the USA

If America is such a great place

Tell me why it’s gotta be this way

I was born in the USA

But I still don’t know what that means
