Bonfire – Proud Of My Country 0

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 theese poeple, proud to be free.
I said Hey, I wanna be proud of my country,
Proud I was born here, proud of Germany.

Freedom of mine, freedom to speech,
Freedom to everyone, in the world.
Freedom today, freedom to teach.
Freedom of religion, and freedom to eat.
(Yes! )

(C'mon)

(Huah! )

I said Hey, I wanna be proud of my country.
Proud of theese poeple, proud to be free.
I said Hey, I wanna be proud of my country,
Proud I was born here, proud of Germany.

I said Hey, I wanna be proud of my country.
Proud of theese poeple, proud to be free.
I said Hey, I wanna be proud of my country,
Proud I was born here, proud of Germany.
