Proud Of My Country lyrics

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 

Well, I made this trip to Vegas - with a friend of mine 
some people heard we're German - and they called us "Nazi swines" 

Do you think it's fair to blame me - for the things I haven't done 
so tell me how long - will this be going on 

I wanna know - if you don't know 
that you're hurting me and my country 
Yesterday's gone and we belong 
to a new german nation - who has found it's home 

CHORUS 
I said hey 
I wanna be proud of my country 
proud of it's people 
proud to be free 
I said hey 
I wanna be proud of my country 
proud I was born here 
proud to live in Germany
