Lyrics

[00:22.530] Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
[00:28.630] ooh, they're red, white and blue.
[00:34.550] And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief",
[00:40.240] oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,
[00:44.480]
[00:46.050] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[00:51.970] I ain't no senator's son,
[00:57.940] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[01:03.340] I ain't no fortunate one, no,
[01:08.600]
[01:20.580] Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
[01:26.050] Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
[01:31.710] But when the taxman come to the door,
[01:37.410] Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes,
[01:43.230]
[01:44.430] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[01:49.630] I ain't no millionaire's son.
[01:55.300] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[02:00.630] I ain't no fortunate one, no.
[02:05.470]
[02:28.550] Yeah, some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
[02:34.610] ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
[02:40.630] And when you ask them, how much should we give,
[02:46.120] oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh,
[02:51.140]
[02:52.210] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[02:57.940] I ain't no military son,
[03:03.710] It iain't me, it ain't me,
[03:09.250] I ain't no fortunate one,
[03:14.490]
[03:37.620] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[03:44.410] I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
[03:48.900] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[03:54.590] I ain't no fortunate son, no no no
[04:01.590]
