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
Elvis made them bleed
Born in America, oh yeah
Born in America, oh, oh
You wanna see a movie star
Oh Hollywood or D.C.
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, yeah
Born in America, land of the free, yeah
Come on rock the stages, come on
Born in America, oh yeah
Ah, born in America, whoa
Motor city, Motown, Chile dogs
And baseball blue jeans
And coca cola rock 'n roll
All born in America
