These guys resort to shock value alot more now... "What can i say that will really bloow them away, and get me more bucks in my pocket"
Sad thing is the guys buying it and paying the dude.
Beck is a dickwad. He tries to stir up controversy. The left wing blogosphere does the same by reporting his rants to their Springsteen loving minions.
This is a FF written subliminal composition to demoralize the USA. Few hear the words outright, but with repeated play the message of the hate, anger and despair of having to live in the USA versus, say, Cuba or North Korea, is born out and turned into votes for BO
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 covering up
[chorus:]
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam
To go and kill the yellow man
[chorus]
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
I go down to see the V.A. man
He said "Son don't you understand"
[chorus]
I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a little girl in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Heaven forbid a realistic depiction of war and it concequences in pop culture.
How the hell does anyone know what Springsteen is saying? I can't understand a word.

Taking on the Churches is one thing! Born in the USA is something entirely different! Beck is going to get in even more trouble pretty soon!
