Fortunate Son Lyrics

[Verse 1: Eso & Bliss]
Uh, yo, some folks are born made to wave the flag, uh
Ooh they're red, white and blue
(b–b–b–blue, b–blue)
And when the band plays Hail to the Chief
Ooh, they point the cannon at you (y–y–y–you, y–you)

[Chorus: Eso & Bliss]
It ain't me, na, it ain't me, na
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, na, it ain't me, na
I ain't no fortunate one (come on)

[Verse 2: Eso & Bliss]
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, my, don't they help themselves
(hell yeah)
But when the taxman comes right up to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes it does

[Chorus: Eso & Bliss]
It ain't me, na, it ain't me, na
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, na, it ain't me, na
“I ain't no fortunate one”

[Turntablism: DJ Izm]
“I ain't no fortunate”
“I–I ain't no fortunate”
“I–I ain't no fortunate one”
“I ain't no fortunate”
“I–I ain't no fortunate”
“I–I ain't no fortunate one”

Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord”

[Chorus: Creedence Clearwater Revival]
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no

[Turntablism: DJ Izm]
“I ain't no fortunate”
“I–I ain't no fortunate”

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
