[Verse 1]
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"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, y'all
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
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer, "More, more, more!"

[Chorus]
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son of a gun, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, Lord, oh

[Outro]
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate, fortunate son, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one-a, one-a
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate, fortunate one, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son
