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)
|
|
CHORUS
|
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
|
|
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 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
|
