In the Ronald Reagan zenith of 1984, Bruce Springsteens' politics were actually as outspoken as they are today. In fact, he believed he was hiding it in plain view with his hit "Born in the USA". The middle verses tell the story:
"I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam
To go and kill the yellow man
[chorus]
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
I go down to see the V.A. man
He said 'Son don't you understand'".
