Forrest Gump - Fortunate Son lyrics

rate me

Some folks are born, made to wave the flag<br />

Ooh, they're red, white and blue<br />

And when the band plays 'Hail to the chief'<br />

Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord<br />

<br />

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son<br />

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no<br />

<br />

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand<br />

Lord, don't they help themselves, oh<br />

But when the taxman comes to the door<br />

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

<br />

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no<br />

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no<br />

<br />

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes<br />

Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord<br />

And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"<br />

Ooh, they only answer more! More! More! oh<br />

<br />

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son<br />

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one<br />

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no<br />

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