Janiva Magness - Fortunate Son

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""
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand
Oh, don't they help themselves, Lord?
But when the tax man comes to the door
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no, no

Some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they'll send you down to war, Lord
And when they ask you, ""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, son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, I

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no
(It ain't me, it ain't me)
(It ain't me, it ain't me)
I ain't no fortune son, no, oh
