Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son Lyrics

Artist: Creedence Clearwater Revival

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: John Fogerty

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
They're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Oh, 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
But when the tax man come to the door
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes

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
They send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, how much should we give
They only answer, more, more, more, yo

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, son
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 fortunate one, no, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
