(Parody To Born in the U.S.A.)

Graduation came and went
Mama said no dough for college, food or rent
You ain’t fortunate son, no argument
Gotta get out while you can still give consent now

Left to die in CA’s LA 
I was left to die in CA’s LA
I was left to die in CA’s LA
Left to die in CA’s LA now

Became a soldier, learned to fight	
So Americans could sleep through the night
Didn’t question if it was wrong or right
USA is worth the fight

Left to die in CA’s LA
I was left to die in CA’s LA
I was left to die in CA’s LA
Left to die in CA’s LA now

Los Angeles is where I landed
Went to the VA, but they were underhanded		
Special interests got the deals they demanded		
Leaving me and the others empty-handed

Came home with a thank you and PTSD
Before too long, addiction got hold of me
Now the West LA VA says so long
Don’t wanna hear your hardship song

Illegal leases line our pockets				
Get off this VA land, you homeless muppet		
Go find yourself some poor caring prophet
Ain’t nothing here but red tape dockets

Left to die in CA’s LA
I was left to die in CA’s LA now
Left to die in CA’s LA
Lost and forgotten in CA’s LA now
Left to die in CA’s LA
Left to die in CA’s LA
Left to die in CA’s LA
On the VA’s doorstep in CA’s LA now
