Fortunate Son lyrics by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Some folks are born
made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white, blue

And when the band plays
"Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the
cannon at you, Lord

But it ain't me
it ain't me
Ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
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 just
like a rummage sale, yes

But it ain't me, it ain't me
Ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
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 more

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

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

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

It ain't me, it ain't me
Ain't no fortunate son, no no

It ain't me, it ain't me
Ain't no fortunate son
