LYRICS:
In a hospital all alone in the middle of the night
A lonely mother gave her life
A nurse stroked the dead woman's hair
Closed her eyes up one last time
The doctor wrapped that baby up tight and said
"He is Born American"

Oh, they could not know
They would be called to the streets and
Called to defend their sons and daughters
From the men with the masks and the jackets that say
I-C-E
You better come with me
Cause your birthright
In the land of the free
Well it don't mean nothing
Even though
You were Born American

They bounced that baby around from a city to a town
Just like the tight black curls on the top of his head
Like a foreign crown
Until at the age of three he was adopted by
A serviceman and his wife who cried
With tears in her eyes
Look at him
LOOK at him
He was Born American

Oh, they could not know
They would be called to the streets and
Called to defend their sons and daughters
From the men with the masks and the jackets that say
I-C-E
You better come with me
Cause your birthright
In the land of the free
Well it don't mean nothing
Even though
You were Born American

Oh could they know?
Oh how could they know?

His generosity
His sense of community
His personal commitment to personal responsibility
These were just a few of the ways the people in his town could tell he was
Born American
He was quick to fight
But he was also quick to forgive
He was cool
And he was handsome

Oh, they could not know
They would be called to the streets and
Called to defend their sons and daughters
From the men with the masks and the jackets that say
I-C-E
You better come with me
Cause your birthright
In the land of the free
Man it won't mean a damn
It'll mean nothing
It won't mean nothing

Oh, they could not know
They would be called to the streets and
Called to defend their sons and daughters
From the men with the masks and the jackets that say
I-C-E
You better come with me
Cause your birthright
In the land of the free
Man it won't mean a damn
It'll mean nothing
It won't mean nothing
Even though
You were Born American

Even though
You were Born American
You were Born American
You were Born American
You were Born American

Oh say, does that star spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the
Of the
Of the
Brave?
