Fortunate Son

John Fogerty

[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
