Bruce Springsteen is the effing BOSS. His songs give me goosebumbs' just his, ACDC's and those of a few other (rock) bands. As for the ending -about today's shitty music- you got the rocker's approve!
Bugger where you came from people, nobody cares. You came for the music. If you came to post where you're from and to criticize others... I think we all know you need a life.
I'm from Finland too. I bought this record 1984 when it was published. It is one of the strongest criticisms ever made on treatment of war veterans, and actual even today when the Iraqi veterans are repatriated. Unfortunately, the message of this song is universal and not restricted to US only. Bruce makes magnificent job in this song!
I'm 18 and this is one of the greatest songs in music history!! However, some of the stuff nowadays is good (Snow Patrol, Mumford, Adele...etc). Long live the Boss!
Born in Poland, traveled all around Europe and grew up everywhere too. Although I am nothing but a true european in my heart... this song has a special place in my heart aswell.
I was born in Finland. Great country but our climate sucks! By the way, this song criticizes USA roughly. If you look more accurate at the lyrics, you'll find out. My opinion is that USA is as good country as Finland.
@AlabamaSoldier critiSe is a hellenic word.so whn a hellene says...'critise''then u better shut up and accept it.and what r u?...i know what r u...a dictation secretary..lol
this song is quite right for me I can not understand why there are wars and people killing each other only offer that if unknown or anything =S good song really!
Im not American, if u dont like this song you are sick.This song represents war in Vietnam,stop playing that call of duty shit and open your eyes.If u want to go to war, lisen to this song.Remember your family,your friends.
EVERY SINGLE video. EVERY SINGLE MUSIC VIDEO the name JUSTIN BEIBER HAS TO BE MENTIONED. LISTEN TO THE SONG GIVE IT A LIKE AND A COMMENT THEN GO. JUSTIN BIEIBER IS SHIT AT SIGNING IF TEENAGER GIRLS WANT TO LISTEN TO HIM THEN LET THEM BE YOU DONT HAVE TO!
This song has always generally been viewed as a patriotic song. However this song is actually a critism of the American system at that time. First a lot of men was forced to go to fight in Vietnam, then they returned to the USA without receiving nothing but a medal and a bad reception from most people.
This is one of the best, if not The best, songs ever written. It has indeed a very social critisism in it - but that is what I think makes the song so good. I'm a 16 year old kid from Sweden, so I can't say that I fully understand how it was in America at this time (since I myself wasn't there). I think the meaning of this song often is forgotten - but also misunderstood. It ain't a song about how great USA is, it's a song that recognizes it's faults. An epic song by an epic singer.
@TheDammtuss It sure is an epic song, i love it :) But i don't think there would be possible to rate something as a best song in the world, due to all the meanings. But the song is epicness, and i love the lyrics.
@onebobonesoul RnB used to be good!!! Don't judge it by the 2010 shit you hear on the radio please!!!! Go back a decade or so, and then you understand WHY people listen to RnB (I listen to both RnB and this!) Open YOUR MIND!!!! :/ :/ :/
@onebobonesoul How can you cast off all R&B as being shit? Anyone with a real appreciation for music would be able to simultaneously appreciate this song, and R&B music as well.
Im 35 years old and never been a Springsteen fan, but suddenly i get him. The man is a genius and this song is just one of many fantastic tunes he has produces. Ive never really heard the lyrics before because i simply dismissed the song as your typical american brainwash propaganda. Respect to the Boss and to all americans in opposition of the horrible thing your country has done overseas.

All the people that thinks this song is a patriotic hymn to the U.S.A.:
The song is about the Vietnam War, all the veterans that came home to U.S.A. and about the hard reality.

And so they put a rifle in my hands
