I count it the fault of the team of King George, mind you. It's declined since then, has it not? I say in no way that I'm opposed to the American Revolution, because King George III taxed w/o representation, but I still think war at that time was stupid.

"War" was chosen as the first single from the set, and it was again a big hit, reaching #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Springsteen taped the words of the song to his arm, prefaced the song with a spoken admonition not to blindly trust the government, leaders or anything else, and then he and the band performed a rock rendition. Springsteen released the Septemperformance as a part of his 1986 box set, Live/1975–85. A year earlier, he had suggested the same, as a loose protest against Reagan Administration foreign policy in Central America and elsewhere, but the band had been unable to come up with an effective arrangement. Springsteen and his manager Jon Landau were looking for a way to make these concluding shows, taking place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, a little different and special, and Landau suggested playing "War". "War" was performed in concert by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in 1985, added to the set list for the final few shows of their lengthy Born in the U.S.A.
