Some folks are born
Made to wave the flag
Oh, they're red, whit and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",
Oh 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, don't they help themselves
But when the tax man comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale
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
Oh, they send you down to war
And when you asked
"How much should we give?"
Their 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 fortunate one no
It ain't me
It ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son
