《BornintheU。S。A。》是美国70年代以来大红大紫的摇滚乐巨星之一布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀(BruceSpringsteen)的歌曲。收录于同名专辑中。
该专辑销售在美国本土就突破千万张,除勇夺英、美排行冠军外,并在专辑排行榜TOP10上停留达84周之久。此张专辑不仅花了两年的时间制作,其中收录的单曲并从100多首歌曲精选而来。
而专辑是以一个美国公民的身份,来探讨Bruce对人生的看法,和回忆美国参加越战的情形,以及一些越战英雄,处于现今社会不知何去何从的处境。
从不拍摄MTV的Bruce破例将1984年在圣保罗演唱会实况,剪成一支为他夺得第27届葛莱美奖「最佳摇滚男歌手」演唱奖单曲「DancingInTheDark」的MTV。「NoSurrender」以绝不向岁月低头,好比在寒冬中与敌人奋战绝不妥协的精神为人所感佩。
此专辑出现的单曲比以往多,包括「CoverMe」(TOP7)、「GloryDay」(TOP5)、「BornInTheU。S。A。」(TOP9)、「I'mOnFire」(TOP6)、「I'mGoingDown」(TOP9)、「MyHomeTown」(TOP16)等。这张专辑在[滚石]杂志中评分为5星,在此杂志评选的摇滚史上最伟大的500张摇滚专辑中排名86位。
许多国内的评论是说BruceSpringsteen从一个美国公民的角度来探讨当时的社会问题,但谜觉得,虽然这专辑用了不少乐观的歌名,但细听却表达出了一种绝望和质疑。
专辑中一个越战老兵,在经济萧条中寻找工作机会,他的弟弟为国献身,他为美国奉献了许多,但他却不知道为了什么去牺牲,而社会也未给他任何回报。

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
Till you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Got in a little hometown jam so they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "son don't you understand now"
Had a brother at Khe Sahn fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a long gone daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A.
