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"

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,

Lord, dont 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,

Ooh, they send you down to war

And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"

They only answer "More! More! 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
