"Fortunate Son (John's Version)" lyrics - JOHN FOGERTY

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
But when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
Oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

[Chorus:]
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, no
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, no
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah

[Chorus:]
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no

Ah yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Oh, they send you down to war, Lord
But when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Oh, they only answer, "More, more, more"

[Chorus:]
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
It ain't me
