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)
