Fortunate Son

Some folks are born to wave away the flag

Ooh, they're red, white and blue

Ooh, when the band plays, "Hail to the chief"

They point the cannon at you, Lord



It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son

It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no



Some folks are buried with silver spoon in hand

Lord, they help themselves

But when the taxman comes on to the door

The house like a rummage sale, Lord



It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, son

It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no



Some folks inherit'star spangled eyes

Ooh, they send you down to war

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

They only answer, "More, more, more"



It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no military son, son

It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, look out



It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no military son, son

It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no



It ain't me, you ain't me, me, I ain't no fortunate one

It ain't me, you ain't me, me, I ain't no fortunate son
