Ball of fire in the sky,
The sound of solid steel
A flash of lightning,
Sounds so frightening,
When the power's all you feel
From the leather of the fifties,
Murray The K and Alan Freed
Monroe and James Dean,
Died for the silver screen,
And Elvis made them bleed
Born in America
Born in America
You wanna see a movie star?
Hollywood or DC?
Politicians greed,
Money's all you need,
The power's guaranteed
Vegas got the casinos,
And Texas, oil wells
Got your Boston beans,
Got your Frisco Queens,
Anything that sells
Born in America
Born in America
Land of the free
Born in America
Born in America
Born in America
Born in America
Motor city, motown,
Chili-dogs and baseball
Bluejeans and Coca-Cola,
Rock 'n' roll,
All born in America
