You know, as a big Springsteen fan, I was legitimately trying to figure out what song this was, before I realized you were just abstracting a song.
if bruce is such a working class hero,
then why is he call "the boss" ?

He's the boss the people want, not the one they have
Springsteen doesn't talk about being drunk, he's notoriously sober for a rock star. Nice try though.
>>60732754
Damn....
>>60732417
Atlantic City is the best song of all time.
>>60732754
We're living on it
>>60732417
literally Country for the babby boomers
If you don't like what Bruce discusses in his lyrics, you need to go pre-Darkness (or pre-Nebraska, however you want to do it)
The lyrics on this album are GOAT, as are the ones on The Wild, The Innocent, and The E Street Shuffle. Born to Run is more what you're describing, but it's got enough cool poetry stuff and it's more of a love-themed album so it's still super good
>>60732779
I mean his characters get drunk sometimes. Like Glory Days is pretty much just about that

>GOAT of corny boomer muzak
>>60734414
no I didn't
