Fortunate Son

[Verse 1]

Some folks are born made to wave the flag

Oh they're red white and blue

But when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"

They point the cannon at you

[Chorus 1]

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no senator's son

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one

[Verse 2]

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand

Oh don't they help themselves

But when the tax man comes to the door

Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale

[Chorus 2]

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no millionaire's son

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one

[Verse 3]

Some folks inherit star-spangled eyes

Oh, they willsend you down to war

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

They always answer "More and more!

[Chorus 3]

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no military son

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one

[Outro]

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate son
