Cat Power Fortunate Son Lyrics

Fortunate Son Lyrics

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 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, they really help themselves

When the tax man come to the door

Lord, the house look 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, 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 ain'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 will never be me

I ain't no fortunate one, no
