Fahrenheit 9/11 movie - Fortunate Son lyrics

rate me

Song by John Fogerty<br /><br>

Some folks are born<br>

made to wave the flag,<br>

Ooh, they're red, whit and blue.<br>

And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",<br>

they point the cannon right at you.<br>

<br>

It ain't me,<br>

it ain't me.<br>

I ain't no senator's son.<br>

It ain't me,<br>

it ain't me.<br>

I ain't no fortunate one.<br>

<br>

Some folks are born<br>

silver spoon in hand,<br>

Lord don't they help themselves.<br>

But when the tax man comes to the door,<br>

Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale.<br>

<br>

It ain't me,<br>

it ain't me.<br>

I ain't no millionaire's son.<br>

It ain't me,<br>

it ain't me.<br>

I ain't no fortunate one.<br>

<br>

Some folks inherit<br>

star spangled eyes,<br>

Ooh, they send you down to war.<br>

And when you ask them,<br>

"How much should we give?"<br>

They only answer "More! More! More!"<br>

<br>

It ain't me,<br>

it ain't me.<br>

I ain't no military son.<br>

It ain't me,<br>

it ain't me.<br>

I ain't no fortunate one.<br>

<br>

It ain't me,<br>

it ain't me.<br>

I ain't no Fortunate Son.<br>

<br>
