A Springsteen Classic Updated for the Trump Era

Inspired by Trump’s threat to have the Boss investigated for campaign finance violations.

BANNED IN THE USA

(Chorus)

Banned in the USA.

Banned in the USA.

Banned in the USA.

Banned in the USA.

______________

I was born in a deep blue state.

To be a rocker was to be my fate.

Trump came along with his song of hate.

I don’t think that’s what made our country great.

___________

(Chorus)

__________

I did my level best to back the blue.

To save democracy for me and you.

But in the end, we all lost, it’s true.

Now Trump is after me; that’s nothing new.

(Chorus)

_________________

Trump’s just a bully; we can call his bluff.

We can’t give in to him and all his stuff.

We still can win; it won’t be that tough.

Come on people! Have you had enough!

_____________

Banned in the USA.

Banned in the USA.

Banned in the USA.

I’m a cool rocking daddy in the USA.
