It's really funny you say that and refer to that particular song. I heard a discussion about how Springsteen felt about it. It's not the patriotic song you first take it for. Read the lyrics again.
"With a bandanna on and a cutoff shirt and the fist-pumping, it felt like a celebration of being born in the USA — when really, it's a defiant song about 'I was born in the USA, and I deserve better than what I'm getting.'
He's referring to the Vietnam era and years right after when the vets were coming home, being harassed and spit on, unable to find work, no mental health, the VFWs and Legion halls halls wouldn't take them in. Riots, race wars, Nixon's national disgrace and Regan's economic experiments. People lamented birth control and women in the workforce and latchkey kids...
Every era is terrible and every era holds immense promise. IMO
