Fortunate Son Lyrics By Creedence Clearwater Revival

    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 lord

    it ain’t me it ain’t me
    i ain’t no senator’s son son
    it ain’t me it ain’t me
    i ain’t no fortunate one no

    some folks are born silver spoon in hand
    lord don’t they help themselves no
    but when the taxman come’ to the door
    lord the house lookin’ like a rummage sale yeah

    it ain’t me it ain’t me
    i ain’t no millionaire’s son no no
    it ain’t me it ain’t me
    i ain’t no fortunate one no

    yeah some folks inherit star spangled eyes
    ooh they send you down to war lord
    and when you ask ’em how much should we give
    ooh they only answer more more more more

    it ain’t me it ain’t me
    i ain’t no military son son lord
    it ain’t me it ain’t me
    i ain’t no fortunate one one
    it ain’t me it ain’t me
    i ain’t no fortunate one no no no
    it ain’t me it ain’t me
    i ain’t no fortunate son no no no
