Fortunate Son lyrics - Clutch

(originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival)

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"

Oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's 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, oh

But when the taxman comes to the door

Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no

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

Yeah, some folks inherit star spangled eyes

Ooh, they send you down to war

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 lobbyist's son, son

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

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

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