Fortunate Son

Fortunate Son (1969) - Creedance Clearwater Revival

Some folks are born 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

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 oh

But when the taxman comes to the door

Lord the house looks like a rummage sale yes

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

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes

Ooh they send you down to war Lord

And when you ask them

"How much should we give "

Ooh they only answer More more more yoh

It ain't me it ain't me

I ain't no military son son

It ain't me it ain't me;

I ain't no fortunate one one

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 no no no
