Lyrics

[00:19.000] Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
[00:22.500] ooh, they're red, white and blue.
[00:26.000] And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief"
[00:30.000] oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,
[00:33.500] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[00:36.900] I ain't no senator's son,
[00:41.000] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[00:44.000] I ain't no fortunate one, no,
[00:47.000] Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
[00:51.000] Lord, don't they help themselves? oh.
[00:55.000] But when the taxman come to the door,
[00:59.000] Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes,
[01:02.790] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[01:05.790] I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no.
[01:09.790] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[01:12.790] I ain't no fortunate one, no.
[01:29.790] Yeh... some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
[01:35.000] ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
[01:39.000] And when you ask them, how much should we give,
[01:42.500] oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh,
[01:46.000] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[01:49.800] I ain't no military son, SON, NO
[01:53.000] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[01:57.000] I ain't no fortunate one, NO NO
[02:00.800] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[02:03.800] I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
[02:07.300] It ain't me, it ain't me,
[02:11.000] I ain't no fortunate son, son son son
