Born in the USA

Part 1

Born in the USA

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up

CHORUS
Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
Go and kill the yellow man

CHORUS

Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says, "Son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my VA 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 the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Now here to run ain't got nowhere to go

CHORUS

Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA

Рожденный в США
Родиться в мертвой глуши...
Первый же удар опрокинул меня навзничь,
И подохну, как собака, которую вечно лупили,
Проведя полжизни, разыскивая, где бы укрыться

Рожденный в США,
Рожденный в США,
Рожденный в США,
Рожденный в США

В родном городишке попал в переделку:
В мою руку вложили винтовку,
Отправив меня на чужбину —
«Иди! Убей желтого человека!»

Рожденный в США,
Рожденный в США,
Рожденный в США,
Рожденный в США

Вернулся домой на очистительный завод,
Мастер говорит мне: «Сынок, если бы это зависело от меня»
Спустился вниз посмотреть мою учетную карточку,
Сказал: «Сынок, сейчас все иначе»

Рожденный в США,
Рожденный в США,
Рожденный в США,
Рожденный в США

У меня был брат в Кхешани¹,
Сражавшийся против вьетконговцев,
Они все еще там, а его больше нет...

В Сайгоне у него была женщина, которую он любил,
У меня есть его фото в ее объятиях

Внизу, под сенью этой тюрьмы,
Вдали от газового пламени завода,
Я сжег дотла десяток лет своей жизни,
И вот, мне не надо никуда идти...

Рожденный в США,
Я родился в США,
Я родился в США,
Родился в США...

In my opinion:
The song is not bad, but it’s not very close to understanding for a Russian person, my opinion is purely Americans reflect too much about this conflict, but I understand that people didn’t need a war, but instead of protesting people simply obeyed and went to die, a typical pro-American policy , my subjective opinion on this subject.

Part 2

II) I find the most interesting such facts:

66% of Americans are overweight and 37% of those are obese.

Approximately 1% of Americans are homeless (3,5 million people).

Sadly, the streets of major cities are often dirty.

Littering (throwing garbage on the street),graffiti and tagging (writing on the walls), and loitering (standing around and doing nothing) are against the law and are punishable by a fine or jail.

You must be over the age of 21 and you must have an identification card with a photo to buy or drink alcohol.

Americans don`t push or stand too close to anyone in line. They always wait their turn.

Usually, when friends meet at a restaurant they each pay their share of the bill or split the bill in half. It`s called going Dutch.

At an American funeral, it is not normal to make loud sad sounds. Americans try to keep strong emotions inside.

Americans parents speak to their children as adults and teach them how to be responsible for their actions.

Ш) 1)The stereotype that the Russians do not smile is not true, the Russians are very responsive to people who need help, and to this day you can meet people who will simply give you an overnight stay, food, and also entertain without asking for anything in return. 2) Foreigners mistakenly believe that Russians are the most drinking people. According to official figures, only 0.88% of the population suffers from alcoholism. 3)Although the same-sex marriage movement is now very popular, Russia has historically developed a negative attitude towards this issue.4) Due to the demographic situation in the country, the Russian government provides full support to large families.5)
Russians have an excellent historical memory, each family has its own heroes who participated in famous historical events (such as World War II, etc.).

Ну и кроме того я отыскал в своей истории один интересный ролик о России, будет время посмотрите - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8zAbdYx9SU
