    Many people don’t listen to the main lyrics or understand the meaning of songs, but just like the chorus.

    “Born in the USA” is another example.

      Same as the Magaites dancing to Killing In The Name a while back during the BLM protests. It was obvious that the only part of the song they cared about was “Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me”

        I’d love to hear one of them answer who were the “forces” that burn crosses. Probably some sort of imaginary vaccine cop.

        It’s questionable there, but it’s a hell of a song so they could be earnestly saying Springsteen was a NJ treasure for writing a fantastic protest song. Buuuut… they probably just liked the assumed pride of the chorus.
