Fortunate Son(Live Rock And Roll Hall of Fame '96) Songtext
von John Fogerty

Some folks are born, made to wave the flag
Ooh, that red, white and blue
But when the band plays, ′Hail to the Chief'
Ooh, they point the cannon 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 taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house look 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

Yeah, some folks inherit Star Spangled eyes
Ooh, they'll send you down to war
But when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, 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 Senator's son
It ain′t me, it ain't me


I ain′t no fortunate
I ain't no fortunate
I ain′t no fortunate
I ain't no fortunate son
Thank you!
