Fortunate Son - Cat Power

Some folks are born made to wave the flag

Ooh, the red, white and blue

And when the band plays «Hail to the Chief»

They point the cannon right at you, Lord

It ain’t me, it ain’t me

I ain’t no senator’s son, no

It ain’t me, it ain’t me

I ain’t no fortunate one, no

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand

Ah, they really help themselves

But when the tax man comes to the door

Lord, the house look a rummage sale, oh 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

Some folks inherit star-spangled eyes

Ooh, they send you down to war

And when you ask them, «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 ain’t me, it ain’t me

I ain’t no fortunate one, 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
