Fortunate Son [7.12.09] Songtext
von Cat Power

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"
They point the cannon at you, Lord

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, no

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, they really help themselves
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house look like a rummage sale, well


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, no

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask ′em, how much should I give
Oh, they only answer, more

It ain′t me, it ain't me
I ain′t no military son, no
It iain't me, it ain′t me
I ain't no fortunate one, no, no

It ain′t me, it ain't me, no
It ain't me, it′ll never be me
I ain′t no fortunate one, no, no
