Fortunate Son

Lyrics

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
 Ooh, they're red, white and blue
 And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief"
 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, they really help themselves
 But when the taxman come to the door
 Lord, the house look like a rummage sale, well
 It ain't me, it ain't me
 I ain't no millionaire's son, no
 It ain't me, it ain't me
 I ain't no fortunate one, no, no
 ♪
 Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
 Ooh, they send you down to war
 And when you ask 'em, how much should I give
 Oh, they only answer, more
 It ain't me, it ain't me
 I ain't no military son, no
 It iain't me, it ain't me
 I ain't no fortunate one, no, no
 ♪
 It ain't me, it ain't me, no
 
 It ain't me, it'll never be me
 I ain't no fortunate one, no, no
