[length: 02:21]
[00:18.73]Some folks are born made to wave the flag
[00:22.45]They’re red, white and blue
[00:25.70]And when the band plays “Hail to the Chief”
[00:29.71]They point the cannon at you, Lord
[00:33.14]It ain’t me, it ain’t me
[00:36.80]I ain’t no senator’s son, son
[00:40.54]It ain’t me, it ain’t me
[00:44.02]I ain’t no fortunate one
[00:47.47]Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand
[00:51.11]Lord, don’t they help themselves, yeah
[00:54.63]But when the taxman comes to the door
[00:58.62]The house look a like a rummage sale
[01:02.13]It ain’t me, it ain’t me
[01:05.61]I ain’t no millionaire’s son, no, no
[01:09.34]It ain’t me, it ain’t me
[01:12.88]I ain’t no fortunate one
[01:19.85]
[01:29.80]Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
[01:34.88]They send you down to war
[01:38.38]And when you ask ’em, “How much should we give?”
[01:41.95]They only answer, “More, more, more”
[01:45.74]It ain’t me, it ain’t me
[01:49.19]I ain’t no military son, son
[01:52.94]It ain’t me, it ain’t me
[01:56.31]I ain’t no fortunate one, one
[02:00.09]It ain’t me, it ain’t me
[02:03.55]I ain’t no fortunate one
[02:07.22]It ain’t me, it ain’t me
[02:10.62]I ain’t no fortunate one
