Bonfire Pickets Proud Of My Country Lyrics

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 

to love your home 

like anyboy in the world 

Yesterday's gone and we belong 

to a new generation

singin' this song



CHORUS 



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 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 



CHORUS 



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 of 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



CHORUS 



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 of Germany



(repeat till fade out)
