Creedence Fortunate Sons

Some folks are born made to wave the flag


Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "ail to the Chief"
Oh, they point the cannon at you, !ord
"t ain't me, it ain't me
" ain't no Senator's son
"t ain't me, it ain't me
" ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
!ord, don't they help themselves, oh
#ut when the ta$ men come to the door
!ord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes
"t ain't me, it ain't me
" ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
"t ain't me, it ain't me
" ain't no fortunate one, no
%eah, some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, !ord
And when you ask them, "ow much should we give&"
Oh, they only answer, more, more, more, oh
"t ain't me, it ain't me
" ain't no military son
"t ain't me, it ain't me
" ain't no fortunate one
"t ain't me, it ain't me
" ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no
"t ain't me, it ain't me
" ain't no fortunate son, no, no

Here comes your man
Outside there's a box car waiting
outside the family stew
out by the fire breathing
outside we wait 'til face turns blue
i know the nervous walking
i know the dirty beard hangs
out by the box car waiting
take me away to nowhere plains
there is a wait so long
here comes your man
Big shake on the box car moving
big shake to the land that's falling down
is a wind makes a palm stop blowing
a big, big stone fall and break my crown
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man
Down on the corner

blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while-
poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalama.oo-

2own on the corner, out in the street,
willy and the poorboys are playin'3
bring a nickel3 tap your feet-
