Some folks are born made to wave the flag Oh, they're red, white and blue But when the band plays, 'Hail To The Chief' They point the cannon right at you
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand Oh, don't they help themselves But when the tax man comes to the door Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes Oh, they will send you down to war And when you ask them how much should we give? They always answer more and more
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son
