Fortunate Son

Fortunate Son Lyrics

Some folks are born made to wave the flag

Yeah, the red, white, and blue

When the band plays 'Hail To The Chief'

Yeah, they'll point the cannon at you


It ain't me, it ain't me

I'm no millionaire's son

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one


Some folks are born silver spoon in hand

Well, they help themselves, yeah

When the taxman comes to the door

House looks a 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

Yeah, when they send you down to war

Well, when you ask them how much you should give

Yeah, it's always more, more, more


It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no senator's son

It ain't me, it ain't me

I'm no fortunate one


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 son

Take it away...
