Lyrics to the song:
Just a workin’ man without a job
It got shipped off to China via Washington, D.C.
And I know I’m nothin’ special, there are plenty more like me
Just the same
I thought I knew the rules of the gameI stood up for this country that I love
I came back from the desert to a wife and kids to feed
I’m not sayin’ Uncle Sam should give me what I need
My offer stands
I’ll pull my weight you give me half a chanceI went up to a congressman and said to him “you know
Our government is letting people down”
He said he’d need a lot of help to buck the status-quo
I said there was a bunch of us aroundI’m a Born Again American, conceived in Liberty
My Bible and the Bill of Rights, my creed’s equality
I’m a Born Again American, my country ‘tis of me
And everyone who shares the dream from sea to shining seaMy brother’s welding chassis at the plant
He’s earning what our granddad did in 1948
While CEOs count bonuses behind the castle gates
How can they see
When all they care about’s the do re miIt’s getting where there’s nowhere left to turn
Not since the crash of twenty-nine have things been so unfair
So many of our citizens are living in despair
The time has come
To reaffirm that hope’s not just for someThe promise of America’s surrendering to greed
The rule is just look out for number one
But brace yourself ‘cause some of us have sown a different seed
A harvest of the spirit has begunI’m a Born Again American conceived in liberty
My Bible and The Bill Of Rights
My creed’s equality
A Born Again American, my country ‘tis of me
And everyone who shares the dream from sea to shining seaIt’s clear my country’s soul is on the line
She’s hungering for something that she lost along the way
The principle the framers called upon us to obey
That in this land
The people’s will must have the upper handI felt the calling once before and took a sacred vow
And faithful to that vow I have remained
I hear the calling once again, my country needs me now
And to her cause I have been re-ordainedI’m a Born Again American conceived in liberty
My Bible and the Bill Of Rights, all people living free
A Born Again American, my country ‘tis of me
And everyone who shares the dream
From sea to shining sea
And everyone who shares the dream
From sea to shining sea

What wonderful promise! Too bad it falls short, leaving out almost 20% of the population that does not practice a faith based on the bible*. I hope some of the remixes are more inclusive!!

Norman Lear — America’s Liberal guru. How convenient and what perfect timimg for all the Obamanites…. AND by the way Rodger! this is just more hype from the Left trying to further confuse this Country with their little cliche song called “Born Again American.” They say it’s to reflect a revitalization of the faith of all Americans in their country. That’s the problem with the liberal left, America is going to “hell”, and they want to believe they get can change it by placing their faith in IT…. From the beginning, America had been an idea with principals in mind, however, we have gotten ourselves away from those basic principals of God & Country, and we still expect the Lord to bless us as a nation….It will not happen. And for all you idiot Obamanites out there who call yourselves “Christian”, you need to place your faith in more than a label. AND shame on you for voting for some liberal who approves of abortion, immorality, and the perversion of men and “same sex unions.” God may bless America, but it won’t be because you weant Him too!!
