Fortunate Son

Some folks are born

Made to wave the flag

They're red, white and blue

And when the band plays

Hail To The Chief

They point the cannon at you, Lord

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, no

Some folks are born

Silver spoon in hand

Lord, don't they help themselves

But when the taxman

Come to the door

Lord, the house look like a rummage sale

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, no

Some folks inherit

Star spangled eyes

They send you down to war, Lord

And when you ask them

How much should we give?

They only answer

More, more, more

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no military son

It iain'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 fortunate one, no

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate son, no
