Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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]
But 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 fortunate one, no
[Verse 2]
Some folks are born
Silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, no
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yes, Lord
[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 3]
Yeah, now, 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, Lord"
[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, no
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, son, Lord, no
[Outro]
It ain't me
It ain't me
I ain't no-
