John Fogerty
Fortunate Son (Fogerty’s Factory Version)
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays Hail to the Chief
Ooh, they point the cannon at you
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
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionairе's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate onе
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer "More, more, more!"
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
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
I ain't no fortunate
I ain't no fortunate son
