Lyrics
Fortunate Son
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some folks are born
Made to wave the flag
They're red, white and blue
And when the band plays
Hail To The Chief
They point the cannon at you, Lord
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, no
Some folks are born
Silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves
But when the taxman
Come to the door
Lord, the house look like a rummage sale
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, no
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
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son
It iain'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
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son, no
