Fortunate Son

It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no
It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
Ooh, when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, son
Ooh, when the band plays, "Hail to the chief"
But when the taxman comes on to the door
It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no military son, son

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

Ooh, they send you down to war
It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, look out

Lord, they help themselves
It ain't me, you ain't me, me, I ain't no fortunate one
Some folks are buried with silver spoon in hand
The house like a rummage sale, Lord

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
It ain't me, you ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no

They only answer, "More, more, more"
They point the cannon at you, Lord
