Lyrics

0:23John Fogerty
0:23Some folks are born
0:25Made to wave the flag
0:27Ooh they're red whit and blue
0:30And when the band plays Hail to the chief
0:34They point the cannon right at you
0:37It ain't me
0:39It ain't me
0:40I ain't no senator's son
0:43It ain't me
0:45It ain't me
0:47I ain't no fortunate one
0:50Some folks are born
0:51Silver spoon in hand
0:53Lord don't they help themselves
0:57But when the tax man comes to the door
1:00Lord the house looks like a rummage sale
1:02It ain't me
1:05It ain't me
1:06I ain't no millionaire's son
1:09It ain't me
1:12It ain't me
1:13I ain't no fortunate one
1:30Some folks inherit
1:31Star spangled eyes
1:34Ooh they send you down to war
1:37And when you ask them
1:38How much should we give
1:43They only answer More More More
1:50It ain't me
1:54It ain't me
1:58I ain't no military son
2:03It ain't me
2:50It ain't me
2:54I ain't no fortunate one
3:03It ain't me
3:07It ain't me
3:14I ain't no Fortunate Son
John Fogerty
Some folks are born
Made to wave the flag
Ooh they're red whit and blue
And when the band plays Hail to the chief
They point the cannon right at you
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
Lord don't they help themselves
But when the tax man comes to the door
Lord the house looks 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
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 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 Son
