Lyrics of Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival
verse
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Hoo, they′re red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
chorus
It ain't me, it ain′t me
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain′t me, it ain′t me
I ain't no furtunate one, no
verse
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don′t they help themselves, Lord?
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah
chorus
It ain′t me, it ain't me
I ain′t no millionaire's son, no, no
It ain't me, it ain′t me
I ain′t no fortunate one, no
verse
Yeah-yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Hoo, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Hoo, they only answer, "More, more, more, more"
chorus
It ain′t me, it ain't me
I ain′t no military son, son, Lord
It ain't me, it ain′t me
I ain't no fortunate one, one
outro
It ain't me, it ain′t me
I ain′t no fortunate one, no, no, no
It ain't me, it ain′t me
I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no
It ain′t me, it ain't me...
