Fortunate Son

[FUCK THE POLICE]

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus ]
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 son, no

[Verse 2]
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, no
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah

[Chorus]
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son, no

[Verse 3]
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More, more, more!

[Chorus/Outro]
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son
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 son, no no no

[FUCK THE POLICE]

You jealous?

I only want what I deserve. Some people want it all, and they take take take.

Deserve has nothing to do with it. You have to earn it. You’re no Senators son.

Hello Mott,

Deserve has nothing to do with it. You have to earn it. You’re no Senators son.

You think Trump earned it?

Through the art of going bankrupt and being a shyster?

you can move watermark away from takers, but you can't take the taker out of watermark.

He's, according to the song...not literally....a Senators son.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

He's, according to the song...not literally....a Senators son.

The song is about all of the fortunate sons who through their privilege were able to avoid fighting in the war. It was not literally about one guy who's dad happened to match every single privilege mention.
