One of the entries in our a song for brazil 2014…
One of the entries in our A SONG FOR BRAZIL 2014 feels extremely poignant after last night’s John Brooks “Header of historic destiny.” Below, behold the lyrics to “Born on a US Base” by #GFOP Peter Backof.
Born down near a deutsche land town
The first kick I took was on the foosball ground
Never eating hot dogs or that apple pie
It was weisswurst and strudel that got me by
Born on a US base
I was born on US base
I was born on a US base
Born on a US base
Got signed to a hometown team
So they put a jersey in my hand
Beckenbauer was in my dreams
Instead of Kyle Beckerman
Born on a US base
I was born on US base
I was born on a US base
Born on a US base
Tried out for die mannschaft team
Coaching man says “son if it was up to me”
Went down to see Coach Klinsmann
He said “son, don’t you understand now”
He said “we’re your brothers in LA”
“You’ll get every chance to play”
I stayed there I’m USA
Now I’m cherunning down the left hand side
Getting crosses in to Jozy’s head now
Down South in the humid Amazon
We’ll prove every single doubter wrong
It’s the US coming down the road
Germany’s ahead ain’t got nowhere to go
Born on a US base
I was born on US base
I was born on a US base
Born on a US base
One more soldier daddy on a US base
