Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Some folks are born made to wave the flag

Ooh, the red, white, and blue

And when the band plays, Hail to the Chief

Ooh, they point the cannon at you

[Verse 2]

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, no

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one

[Verse 3]

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand

Lord, don't they help themselves, y'all

But when the tax man comes to the door

Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah

[Verse 4]

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, yeah

[Verse 5]

Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes

Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord

So when ya ask 'em how much should we give?

Whoa, the only answer's more, more, more

[Verse 6]

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, no

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

[Verse 7]

Yeah, it ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, no

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't fortunate one

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, no

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one

Yeah
