Fortunate Son Lyrics

Some folks are born

Made to wave the flag

Ooh that red, white 'n blue

And when the band plays

'Hail to the Chief'

Ooh they point the cannon at you, lord



It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no Senator's son

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one, no



Some folks are born

Silver spoon in hand

Lord don't they help themselves?

And when the taxman

Comes on their door

Ooh the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah



It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no millionaire's son

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate son, no, no



Some folks inherit

Starspangled eyes

Ooh they send you down to war

And when they ask'em

'How much should we give?'

Ooh they gonna answer 'More and more and more and more and more'...



It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no millionaires son, no

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one, one, one

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no CIA son, no

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate son, son, son
