8. REVEREND - Fortunate Son (CCR cover, from Play God - 1991)







Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, they"re red, white and blue, yeah.
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",
they point the cannon at you, and you and...

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, don"t they help themselves,
But when the taxman 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, son.
It ain"t me, it ain"t me, I ain"t no fortunate one,

[guitar solo]

It ain"t me, It ain"t me, I ain"t no presidents son, 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 senator"s son, no,
It ain"t me, it ain"t me, I ain"t no fortunate one

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send them down to war,
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More and more and...

It ain"t me, it ain"t me, I ain"t no military son, no.
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 presidents son
It ain"t me, it ain"t me, I ain"t no fortunate one, nooooooo no
