Fortunate Son (Live)

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, 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 now

And when the tax man comes to the door

Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes


It ain't me

It ain't me

I ain't no millionaire's son, son, son

It ain't me

It ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one, no, no


Some folks inherit star-spangled eyes

Ooh, they send you down to war

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, son

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 one, one, one

It ain't me

It ain't me

I ain't no fortunate son, son, son
