Some folks are born made to wave the flag Ooh, they're red, white & 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 Lord, don't they help themselves, y'all But when the tax man comes to the door Lord, the house's looking like a rummage sale, yeah
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 one, y'all
Instrumental
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes Ooh, they send you down to war, c'mon And when you ask them, "How much should we give?" Ooh, they only answer: more, more, more, y'all
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 one, 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, I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no
