Fortunate Son

                                  Some folks are born, made to wave the flag

Ooo, their red, white and blue

And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"

Ooo, 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, y'all

But when the taxman comes to the door

Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah



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, yeah

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes

Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord

And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"

Ooh, they only answer "More! More! More!", y'all



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
