“Born in the USA” are the recurring words in the song. They highlight what life is really like to live in America and how it’s not as great as it seems. Bruce Springstein tries to show the reader what it really is like to live in the USA. For example, "The first kick I took when I hit the ground," The moment he is born he's going to have a hard life to live. Also "Got in a little home town jam so they put a rifle in my hand and sent me off to kill the yellow man" states that he got into trouble and instead of going to jail he went off to war. In the song Springstein tries to tell us how hard it is to get a job even after serving his country. Bruce Springstein's song is a poem about what it's really like to live in the USA.
