Fortunate Son

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

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

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

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

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"

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

It ain't me

It ain't me

I ain't no-
