I fantasized these huge sounds and so we went to pursue them but they were always bigger in my head. I stripped the record down to, really, it's barest and most austere elements. DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN

Bruce Springsteen's Patriotic Hits, a playlist by prince-jake on Spotify

A playlist featuring Bruce Springsteen

as my fellow americans know, the fourth of july is imminent and suburban dads across the country will be unironically blasting bruce springsteen’s 1984 classic “Born In The USA” having mistaken it for an uncritical celebration of good old american patriotism. this year I’ve decided why stop there? here is my personal selection of bruce’s most patriotic hits, exploring timeless american topics such as police brutality, government corruption, homelessness, toxic masculinity, the consequences of war, and the death of the working class. guaranteed to cause a stir when you play it at the cookout!

track list under the cut:

01. born in the usa (demo version) born down in a dead man’s town the first kick I took was when I hit the ground

02. american land they died to get here a hundred years ago, they’re still dying now the hands that built the country we’re always trying to keep down

03. my hometown they’re closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks foreman says these jobs are going boys, and they ain’t coming back

04. we take care of our own from the shotgun shack to the Superdome there ain’t no help, the cavalry’s stayed home

05. american skin (41 shots) if an officer stops you, promise me you’ll always be polite that you’ll never ever run away, promise mama you’ll keep your hands in sight

06. death to my hometown send the robber barons straight to hell the greedy thieves who came around and ate the flesh of everything they found whose crimes have gone unpunished now

07. the wall now the men who put you here eat with their families in rich dining halls and apology and forgiveness got no place here at all

08. the ghost of tom joad wherever somebody’s fighting for a place to stand or a decent job or a helping hand wherever somebody’s struggling to be free look in their eyes ma, you’ll see me

09. the river (live at LA coliseum) I come from down in the valley where mister when you’re young they bring you up to do just like your daddy done

10. born in the usa (springsteen on broadway version) I’m forty years burning down the road I’ve got nowhere to run, I’ve got nowhere to go I’m a long gone daddy in the USA
