I was raised in a small town,
Just a little Germanboy
I did'nt care about history,
I just cared about my doors
And I never felt responsable for what happend in any war
They made me feel guilty even tough I was'nt born
(Left town! )
Remember I was 18 when I heard the other call
And I learned allot about killing men and drinking alcohol
It was like a game for Cowboys - the good against the bad
The others were the good guys, I was German - I was bad
Ain't nothing wrong, to loving home
Like anybody, in the world
Yesterday's gone and we were wrong
To a new generation, singing the song!
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
Well, I made this trip to Vegas,
With a friend of mine
Some poeple heard we're German
And they called us nasty twie lines
Do you think it's fear to blaim me,
For the things I've have'nt done?
So, tell how long, will this be going on?
I wanna know! This you will know,
That you are hurting me and my country
Yesterday's gone and we were wrong,
To a new generation, witch founding it's home
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
