Lyrics 
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
They're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
I ain't no fortunate one, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
Lord, don't they help themselves
I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
And when you ask them, how much should we give
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
Oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

They send you down to war, Lord
I ain't no military son, son
I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no
Yeah, some folks inherit star spangled eyes
I ain't no fortunate one, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
But when the tax man come to the door
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes
It ain't me, it ain't me
It ain't me, it ain't me
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
It ain't me, it ain't me
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
It ain't me, it ain't me
They're red, white and blue
I ain't no fortunate one, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
