FORTUNATE SON Lyrics：J.C.Fogerty Music：J.C.Fogerty
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 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,

Writer(s): John C. Fogerty
John Fogerty wrote this song to show how people with power and money try to break rules and laws: e.g. some influential people in the USA saved their sons from going to Vietnam War using their connections among authorities, while others would hide their taxes despite being wealthy.
The meaning of this track was explained by John Fogerty who said,
John Fogerty told in an interview for Rolling Stone magazine what inspired him to write "Fortunate Son". He said,
This song was featured in the 1994 movie "Forrest Gump" when the main character was on his way to Vietnam War.

About
Genius Annotation
As one of the most famous protest songs of the Vietnam War era, “Fortunate Son” revives this timeless message with the snarl and swagger of the 1960s righteous rock and roll.
As John Fogerty put it:
“Julie Nixon was hanging around with David Eisenhower, and you just had the feeling that none of these people were going to be involved with the war. In 1968, the majority of the country thought morale was great among the troops, and eighty percent of them were in favor of the war. But to some of us who were watching closely, we just knew we were headed for trouble.”
As explained by John Fogerty, this song is the birthchild in a time of extreme distrust for executive authority. John describes the callousness of then president Richard Nixon and his arrogance towards young people. I have included this short video through which John Fogerty summarizes the reasons for this song’s creation.

What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer
In his memoir Fortunate Son: My Life, My Music, Fogerty wrote:
Julie Nixon was dating David Eisenhower. You’d hear about the son of this senator or that congressman who was given a deferment from the military or a choice position in the military. They seemed privileged and whether they liked it or not, these people were symbolic in the sense that they weren’t being touched by what their parents were doing. They weren’t being affected like the rest of us.
