Fortunate Son Lyrics

Performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival

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"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no

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

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no

Enjoy the song I feel it inspires soldiers to fight for what they believe in. Not everyone is raised to be a soldier, but many go and fight because its what they believe in. They believe in freedom.

shut up and enjoy the song. Sure it is associated with the veitnam war but its still a good song. History is History. There will was other pointless wars and there is a pointless war now, and there will always be pointless wars so just SHUT UP

Penile Disfunction | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/16/11

Fuck you all. I CAN get erections you bleeding cunts. You are all Nazi-Terrorists that touch each others sweaty ballsacks. Your penises are so small you need a magnifiying glass to see them and tweezers to touch yourself.
Yours Sincerely, Allan the hermaphrodite.

how can there be peace when fights escalate over song reviews | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/3/11

Really? Why does there always have to be fighting everywhere? For gods sake, can't we respect the sacrifices made and learn from them? Obviously America wants to play international police, thats old news, but thats the decision of our elected government, im not saying it's right, but it's important for other countries to realize that most Americans do not agree with our government, and that the interests of the American people and the agenda of Congress are two completely different things.i will gladly wave the flag with pride when America has my interests at heart, until then I will continue to respect our troops, and our vets, but disagree for the reasons they are fighting.

You sir are a ignorant piece of shit that judges an entire country off the stupid loud ones. You who think you know everything. You just jump on the Fucking hate bandwagon. Learn some history and you would know each country isn't sinless, Let's look at today's world then? How you ignore every other country unless it's America. You know how bad some of these other countries are? I'll let you do the research so you can open your eyes.

It's people like you that makes the world truly bad, because you do nothing to help but hate one country because everyone else does but when another is even worse you ignore it because it's not on the news.


But now on to my review of the song
I love this song c:

to all the radical liberal bastards | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/13/11

to all the radical liberal bastards. you are all ungrateful little pricks that need to understand that as may the drafted soldiers didn't like the war. they still fought with honor for YOUR country so that you may have a better life. how would they feel if they knew you were slandering their name and calling the killing of their friends and family a waste of time. as for the kent state incident they were radicals who bombed a ROTC building. they had no peaceful intentions.

COMMUNISM | Reviewer: Erik | 6/11/11

Listen to anyone that think this war wasn't it important, I'm sorry but your wrong. At when WWII ended and the cold war started some of our allies and all areas in the pacific started going communist, When Truman was president he set up the containment policy because we as Americans felt that if everyone in the pacific went communists we would be taken over. So as this continued, and Eisenhower became president he came up with the idea of the Domino effect saying that if you Cuba and Vietnam became communist nations everyone would start becoming communist. So we were not trying to defend our country in another country we were simply trying to contain communism throughout the pacific. Was the war pointless, in a way yes because all of the nations we tried to stop became communists later anyways. But communism isn't as big these days especially in places like China. But In a way we did lose the war because although they suffered three to four times as many casualties as we did we did not accomplish what we were sent there to do.

You are dumb. We killed over a million viet. We lost 50,000. Sure it was a dumb war, but we won. We blew the crap out of them. Then we pulled out because we decided it wasn't worth the loss. And, by the way, Kennedy escalated it also. He was a Democrat. Let's see you go to a guerrila war like that and not be able to shoot some villagers. Man, they strapped bombs to their kids and sent them at our troops. What would you do?
