Fortunate Son - River Whyless

Some folks are born to wave the flag

Ooh they’re red, white, and blue

And when the band plays Hail to the Chief

They point the cannon at you, oh

It ain’t me, it ain’t me

I ain’t no senator’s son

It ain’t me, it ain’t me

I ain’t no fortunate one

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand

They like to help themselves, oh

When the taxman comes to the door

Looks like a billion dollar loss y’all

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

Some folks are born with star spangled eyes

Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord

But when they ask you «How much should we give?»

Well the answer’s always more, more more more!

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 one

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 son
