Note: Recorded at The Power Station May 3-4, 1982. Different mix permutations of the same core recording. The recording found on track 3 of the LP 'This Hard Land' (Boss Productions) could be another different mix but runs very slow. Track 5 from the aforementioned LP is V1c, which lacks a "woo" before the opening line as well as some backing vocals. V1a deletes the saxophone solo after the second verse. The officially released V1e includes the saxophone solo but fades out earlier than the outtakes, explaining the ten second difference in track length V2 is a mix so different it gets it's own version number. Different instruments and sound.

^{Studio Sessions: Born In The U.S.A.}

Murder Incorporated

Yeah
Whoa!

Bobby's got a gun that he keeps beneath his pillow
Out on the street your chances are zero
Take a look around you (come on down)
It ain't too complicated
You're messing with Murder Incorporated

Now you check over your shoulder everywhere that you go (oh yeah)
Walking down the street, there's eyes in every shadow (oh yeah)
You better take a look around you (come on down)
That equipment you got's so outdated (come on now)
You can't compete with Murder Incorporated
Everywhere you look now, Murder Incorporated

Whoa!

So you keep a little secret down deep inside your dresser drawer
For dealing with the heat you're feeling down on the killing floor
No matter where you step you feel you're never out of danger
So the comfort that you keep's a gold-plated snub-nose thirty-two
I heard that you

You got a job downtown, man it leaves your head cold (oh yea)
And everywhere you look life ain't got no soul (oh yeah)
That apartment you live in feels like it's just a place to hide
When your're walking down the streets you won't meet no one eye to eye
Now the cops reported you as just another homicide
I can tell that you was just frustrated
From living with Murder Incorporated

(Murder) Incorporated
Everywhere you look now, Murder Incorporated
Down on your knees, Murder Incorporated
Everywhere that you turn it's murder Incorporated
Now now darling, (Murder) Incorporated
Yeah now (Murder), woo woo woo yeah…
