Bruce Springsteen - We Take Care Of Our Own Lyrics






I been knocking on the door that holds the throne
I been looking for the map that leads me home
I been stumbling on good hearts turned to stone
The road of good intentions has gone dry as a bone
We take care of our own
We take care of our own
Wherever this flag’s flown
We take care of our own

From Chicago to New Orleans
From the muscle to the bone
From the shotgun shack to the Superdome
There ain’t no help, the cavalry stayed home
There ain’t no one hearing the bugle blowin’
We take care of our own
We take care of our own
Wherever this flag’s flown
We take care of our own

Where’re the eyes, the eyes with the will to see
Where’re the hearts that run over with mercy
Where’s the love that has not forsaken me
Where’s the work that’ll set my hands, my soul free
Where’s the spirit that’ll reign over me
Where’s the promise from sea to shining sea
Where’s the promise from sea to shining sea
Wherever this flag is flown
Wherever this flag is flown
Wherever this flag is flown

We take care of our own
We take care of our own
Wherever this flag’s flown
We take care of our own

We take care of our own
We take care of our own
Wherever this flag’s flown
We take care of our own

  5. b.... ....

    First time I listened to this song was after my first time on a Norwegian stage, doing some slam poetry as a guest poet for a local Sunday night band in Oslo whom plays weekly gigs in 2012. After travelling, and working abroad (Ireland as one) for the better parts since 2004, doing slam poetry from times abroad was a new experience. I guess those years of heart breaks and Belfast City Blues was not wasted after all...
    It was a hell of a drug that entire night..
    Listening to this after coming home for the first time in the morning did no help me calm down, as I was still riding on the High of the reception from 300 in the audience..

  6. C.... U....

    Enemies will have to pay.

  7. D.... M....

    Is that Bruce walking in the crowd near the end ?

  13. C.... U....

    Nato Boss and Trump!

  14. C.... U....

    Entertainers must know their place while the chosen one is trying to bring jobs back to Detroit while the Democrats and their Omars hate our heroes.

  15. V.... F....

    The American government doesn't take care of their own...that's why individual communities have to stick together and take care of ourselves...

  16. S.... P....

    ❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏

  17. B.... M....

    This a disgrace on how tickets for anybody could be so much..That was the magic of a live show you could have paid the same being in the front row or the last...Withstanding in a line at a Ticketmaster seeing what seat would spit out next & that one was yours!! Now that's an era gone by!!

  18. A.... P....

    THE BOSS

  19. M.... C....

    Get off your liberal butt and do it...America voted...you lost...stop whining...you might be the problem

    M.... C....

    Putin flipped a switch

  20. a.... h....

    breesbruce

  21. E.... ....

    what's the meaning of the song.... the american dream still a lie....¿?

  22. S.... ....

    What is great about the lyrics of this song, and also about 'Born in the USA' is that you can apply them in a cynical way (meaning the song is criticism, stating that we do not live up to the example of the lyrics) but also when the conditions are true the songs also ring true and as praise of US. Let us always strive for the later condition.

  23. j.... j....

    Springsteen's yet I have one more lyric to this we take care of our own from Puerto Rico to a country club that president the president President Trump

  24. E.... V....

    Sea to shining sea

  28. P.... F....

    Did he make a mistake at 1:27 and pronounce 'Cavalry' as 'Calvary' ?

  29. C.... F....

    Meu príncipe namorado! Amor @springsteen ♥

  30. A.... 4....

    The official Biden For President campaign Song! 💙😎 #LetsGoJoe #BidenForPresident

  31. M.... G....

    But you don’t take care of your own though do you. Americans are the most self absorbed people on the planet. Universal health care? Sensible gun control? A pay rise to a whole $15 per hour? Not gunna happen

  32. M.... B....

    Wo sind die 45 jahre geblieben, die ich schon Bruce Springsteen's fan bin. Und immer noch nicht genug von Bruce ich liebe einfach seine Musik 💖💖💖💖💖

    ZITTI CANTA IL BOSS THE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN YEAHHHH

  37. Q.... ....

    Still remember listening to this the first time and just being completely and utterly blown away. It was a call to arms bursting with the energy of a nuclear blast, and I knew that the coming album was going to be something special.

  38. C.... K....

    Love the music skip the politics

  39. A.... E....

    Adoro Bruce Springsteen

  40. r.... c....

  41. A.... B....

    Forever hit ❤️

  42. J.... R....

    thank you boss always great song with current messages

  43. A.... M....

    He makes catchy music, but Springsteen is a total fraud. He spent his whole career preaching to the blue collar folks but in reality he has never worked a day in his life. Typical Hollywood liberal weirdo. No wonder the piece of shit is campaigning for the useless Democrat party. I wouldnt be surprised to learn that Springsteen is a pedophile as well.

    A.... M....

    hahaha he has always said that and never hid that fact. If you did even the slightest research into Springsteen you would know he sang through the eyes of his father for a lot of his songs.

  44. J.... S....

    This song is over 7 yrs old now, but *Every. Time* I hear it, I still think of Bernie Sanders....

  45. O.... M....

    From a Canadian cold war vet thanks Bruce

    B.... B....

    @Ricardo Hoàng Trump would approve of taking care of our own, so we build a wall to make our country safer. Who cares how Bruce feels.

    B.... B....

    Yay! That sarcasm 👌😂

    B.... B....

    Trump only cares about himself.

    3:09 The kid on the guys shoulders is one of my friends Brian

    F.... ....

    he's so lucky

  74. L.... F....

    Bruce tudo lindo demaisss amoooo ❤

  75. Y.... S....

    The riff sounds very similar to Goldhawks Up on the Altar (2011)... but then every musician uses someone else's music.

  76. J.... D....

    God I love the Boss

  77. M.... K....

    Georgia progressive gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and her VERY special guest, President Barack Obama had a rally tonight in the ATL, and closed it with this anthem. A perfect, PERFECT choice. Complemented both Stacey's and Obama's messaging. Please cross your fingers for this race. Let us return to this: WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN!

  78. P.... &....

    This should have been the Democrats' theme in 2016. Unity, a rejection of identity politics which patronises black people and demonises white while a devil dances in the GOP position....
    The more I watch Bruce and listen to his music, the more I'm persuaded Bruce Springsteen should be President. A strong sense of justice, a man who doesn't truck with facile identity politics, he loves you whatever, because of YOU... the man to lead America to unity and strength again.

  79. D.... H....

    Barack Obama 2012.

  80. C.... C....

    Best Rock and best folk song of the decade period.

  81. C.... C....

    The Boss for President in 2020

  82. N.... R....

    Superb keep Rocking cheers

    I wish that was so!

  84. M.... S....

    I like this song

  85. r.... ....

    I just remembered the name of this after not hearing it for a long time, great song, so glad I found it again.

  86. 3.... ....

    Irony or a trump battle song?

  87. H.... P....

    The map that leads me home #lobsterlabmedia

  88. M.... C....

    Take. Care of our own....not trespassing..start there

  89. J.... C....

    Do people even listen to the Lyrics? It's such a negative song I wish it would have been positive because we need one right now.

    J.... C....

    Well we dont take care of our own so makes sense

  90. R.... W....
