Clutch - Fortunate Son Lyrics
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"
Oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son
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, yeah
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
Yeah, some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
They only answer "More! More! More!"
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no lobbyist's 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
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son

Clutch Fortunate Son Comments
588 assholes don't know shit
Gonna fuck Iran up. Whooo!
great band!
Awesome cover by an awesome band of one of my favourite songs
Neil preach, i a listen
Drummer keeping the groove tight.
Circle Jerks did it better
So shocked to hear these guys do a CCR cover.
R I P Mick Schauer.
Is there any easy way to buy these songs? Can't buy it off Amazon and I don't want to use Apple, can't they just sell it direct like everyone else? They have a Bandcamp account, they should use it.
Anyone know why they changed the lyrics from "military" to "lobbyist's"?
More CCR please...
Just in time for ww3
We will blast this masterpiece from our Blackhawks in WW3
This is awesome. Can we have some more please?
CLUTCH just kills it every time,best band ever, hats off to CCR.
Just in time for me to deploy to Iran with thanks boys
I look forward to when Sabaton finally does a cover of this song...
Battleship bring me here👌👌
This is the WWIII war song for American troops.
Me and the boys listening to music in the waiting lobby in Iran
Hope you guys are safe!
Wow soo good. Literally had the hairs on the back of my neck and the front of my chin stand up!
Going to be blasting this as we roll in helos in ww3
It blows my mind how one band can BLOW MY FUCKING MIND SO MUCH.
*Me and the boys about to be drafted...*
If I get drafted to IRAN this will be our generations war song
Don't worry, it'll only be the USs 5000th illegal invasion of Iran. You'll be fine :)
@Jacob Sample lol true
No one is getting drafted.
Yeah butt Puts you in a class that other men cannot come close 2
Excellent cover from an amazing band!
fucking awesome!!!!!!!! I love clutch!!!!
When you have a Vietnam flashback so hard, you start to have a flashback of when you had a Vietnam flashback in the 90s.
Essa música que fez história na guerra do Vietnã, agora expressará muito numa possível guerra no Irã.
Yes, please.
The kind of music you feel vibrating through you when you're there live.
Need a beer 《12 pack》 with a little clutch on the side
Now if I could just get them to cover Twist of Cain by Danzig.
That would be incredible, and if they also covered "Mother" from Danzig would be just as good.
Is better in 0.50 and 0.75 speed :)
🔊🤠👍
great cover. shittiest video editing of all time.
They kind of did what Van Halen did for "You Really Got Me". Awesome. Didn't change the actual song all that much, but still gave it a sh*tload more life. Two of the best covers ever. Up there with Johnny Cash's "Rusty Cage" and Social Distortion's "Ring of Fire".
I have to be honest I thought this would be terrible but I was wrong and it was epic
on e of my favorite bands covering another on of my favorites thank you clutch for not selling out corrosion of conformity does a good one 2
perfect song for Clutch to cover
vale Jake. It takes a lot of gumption to cover that song. Anywho, at least the microphone didn't explode(even with extra protection)
Yell on brothers. Rock on!
Not bad at'all son, Close enough to the original to do it justice. Different enough to put your own spin on it. You guys hit the sweet spot.
The song is awesome, but holy shit does this video suck. You don't need a jump cut every .2 seconds.
Simply bad ass in the pocket all the way down the line you guys are great and I truly appreciate how you gave Jack props you guys will never forget where you're from and we as fans appreciate it
One of the things I love about these guys is how every day they are....they look like guys I play darts with in the bar leagues.
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
29k vs. 566? 566 are total losers if anyone thumbs downed Clutch they are definitely losers! 😅
✨✨✨"It aint me." 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
this is real rock i love it rock on rock hard clutch come to sweden and play
sweet cover!
Not much to be said when you do it right!🤘
Never heard of these guys. It was in my recommended under the 'drum' section. Kinda like it. I gathered that it's a cover from the comment section.
Yup, original was done in 1969 and the lyrics are just as relevant now. I kind of like this version better because its much harder. Bob seger does a good version of it too.
Thank you
I never really liked this song... but then Clutch shows up
Just wow
This is cool as fuck!
I love CCR, grew up listening to them because they were one of my dads favorite bands so I listened to them as a kid of the late 70's early 80's. This is a bad ass cover of an already great song. Love it!
Next time advice for the video guy; pan past that Rickenbacker a little slower ;-) ....sweet bass
yeah. I f**ks with this.
Clutch: *covers CCR*
.....
The Mob: *Goes Wild!* 🤣😁
Damn this is epic.
Thats one hell of a cover!!!
Hell right 🤘🏻
Damn fine cover.
Lovely monotone singer. I'd be amazed if they were 10 year olds but ok
No accounting for taste I guess. Neil Fallon is an amazing story teller and his voice fits perfectly with what the band does. Give them a shot you might surprise yourself
Очень здорово! Найс пасаны)
The fog is rollin in the tide is high....
Yeaaaaaahhh!!!!!!
This must be soundtrack for BF Bad Company 3 Vietnam add on.... must be.... ;)
If this isn't rock and roll, then i don't know what is. I love clutch & CCR both. This just plain kicked ass from start to finish.
You probably don't know what is
CCR has existed in a self righteous , hypocritical bubble for their whole career, as far as I’m concerned. Especially considering they wrote this crap song.
This isn’t very good.
I’d go as far as to say it’s bad
2/10 all the magic from the CCR version is lost
Right ? Finally someone who understands. The band plays the song like the original, nothing new. The singer full-on sucks ass. Sounds like a kid trying to imitate, badly.
No lie. I have watched this video easily 20 times. God damn what a jam!!!
Thought I recognised it heard it first in suicide squad saw Clutch last week and this was their encore song great!
I wish I could click like again...
I need more CCR cover versions!
OMG! 😳 I never thought anyone could top CCR but...😎👍
This CCR title has been covered so many times (too many I'd rather say) that it becomes really boring, but here with Clutch, I must admit that this version is by very very very far, the best I've heard.
😎🤘🏼
Just in time for the Big Igloo party in Virginia, too.
Hawaiian shirts all around!
Clutch can do no wrong.
Ca pulse....WAHOU !
I’d love to be in a Pub and these guys rock up and belt out some great music like this.
Awesome Clutch is The Best Band On Earth first heared them in the Left 4 Dead 2 Trailer since then I am A Huge Fan bought every Album i could greets from Germany and Merry Christmas everyone
As if I didn't already know these guys were amazing they go and cover one of my favorite CCR songs and may even have done it better...
Classic😎 by a top notch band😎,
volgens mij zit er John Fogerty verstopt in zijn baard prima cover
Best remake this year
I fkn love this band!
Rest in peace Jack Flanagan
Dude looks like Zac Brown without the beanie!
This song is the definition of B O O M E R
I ain't no lobbyists son
Its better then original version of this song!
On my way home from work in London #fucking love the comments AND the song
Good Cover Lads......
Sad circumstance btw, RIP Jack flanagan. A full album would be absolutely great. Any chance Clutch ? Happy NEw Year !!
How have I never heard of this band?!?!?! Thank you youtube recommended section
welcome to the party - you have a lot to catch up on - we suggest BLAST TYRANT to start...
@RJWDPRODS on it. Thanks
My dad passed away two years ago, he was a huge fan of CCR. Thanks for this.
