Bonfire

I was raised in a smalltown - just a little German boy
I didn't care about history - I just cared about my toys
I never felt responsible - for what happened in a war
but they made me feeling guilty - even though I wasn't born (that time)
I remember I was 18 - when I heard the Army call
and I learned a lot about killing man - and drinkin' alcohol
It was like a game of cowboys - the good against the bad
the others were the good guys - I was German - I was bad
Ain't nothing wrong (tell me what's wrong)- to love your home
like anyboy - in the world
Yesterday's gone - and we belong
to a new generation - singin' this song (I'm singin' my song)
CHORUS
I said hey
I wanna be proud of my country
proud of it's people (proud of it's banner)
proud to be free
I said hey
I wanna be proud of my country
proud I was born here
proud of Germany
