Bonfire - Proud Of My Country lyrics
[Bonfire - Proud Of My Country lyrics]
I was raised in a smalltown -
Just a little German boy
I didn't care about history - I
Just cared about my toys
I never felt responsible - for
What happened in a war
But they made me feeling guilty -
Even though I wasn't born (that time)
I remember I was 18 - when
I heard the Army call
And I learned a lot about killing
Man - and drinkin' alcohol
It was like a game of cowboys
- the good against the bad
The others were the good guys - I
Was German - I was bad
Ain't nothing wrong
(tell me what's wrong) to love your home
Like anyboy - in the world
Yesterday's gone - and we belong
To a new generation - singin' this song
(I'm singin' my song)
I said hey i wanna be proud of my country
Proud of it's people (proud of it's banner)
Proud to be free i said hey
I wanna be proud of my country
Proud I was born here proud of Germany
Well, I made this trip to Vegas
- with a friend of mine
Some people heard we're German - and
They called us "Nazi swines"
Do you think it's fair to blame me
- for the things I haven't done
So tell me how long - will this be going on
I wanna know - if you don't know
That you're hurting me and my country
Yesterday's gone and we belong
To a new German nation -
Who has found it's home
I said hey i wanna be proud of my country
Proud of it's people proud to be free
I said hey i wanna be proud of my country
Proud I was born here
Proud to live in Germany
Freedom of mind - freedom of speech
Freedom to everyone in the world
Freedom to live - freedom to teach
Freedom of religion - and Freedom to each
Just a little German boy
I didn't care about history - I
Just cared about my toys
I never felt responsible - for
What happened in a war
But they made me feeling guilty -
Even though I wasn't born (that time)
I remember I was 18 - when
I heard the Army call
And I learned a lot about killing
Man - and drinkin' alcohol
It was like a game of cowboys
- the good against the bad
The others were the good guys - I
Was German - I was bad
Ain't nothing wrong
(tell me what's wrong) to love your home
Like anyboy - in the world
Yesterday's gone - and we belong
To a new generation - singin' this song
(I'm singin' my song)
I said hey i wanna be proud of my country
Proud of it's people (proud of it's banner)
Proud to be free i said hey
I wanna be proud of my country
Proud I was born here proud of Germany
Well, I made this trip to Vegas
