John Fogerty - 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"
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

Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves? Yoh
But when the tax man comes to the door
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yeah

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

  12. M.... B....

    Two of the legends of our time .

  13. J.... G....

    Pauly Walnuts = 4 years in the Army

  15. R.... H....

    John lit up the place , real rock star..

  16. A.... ....

    I'm just amazed...and more than a little sad, that people actually dislike this...

    A.... ....

    Adam then don’t focus on that, if you like that’s good if you don’t like that’s also good.

  17. J.... T....

    Lord, how I loved CCR in high school and college! Saw them in concert in college. Fogarty's voice, a hundred years from now, will still be unique and cherished--as will his songwriting ability.

  18. R.... N....

    Lendas viva!!!!

  19. a.... r....

    🤘🔥🤘🔥

  20. E.... S....

    A giant introducing a MONSTER!!!!yeah!!!!

       J'ADORE. ♥ ️ ️ DES PERFORMANCES EXCEPTIONNELLES !!! C'est comme une sainte communion, Bruce ne chante pas, témoigne-t-il. L'une des plus belles œuvres qui m'ait jamais frappé. LE RESPECT!
    Bruce était une puissance vocale plus jeune ... un peu plus modéré maintenant. Le meilleur des années 60, 70, 80 et début des années 90 les a séduits dans l'industrie de la musique. De très grands chanteurs comme Simon & Garfunkel, The Everly Brothers, Billy Joel, John Fogerty, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Perry, Lionel Richie, PETER CETERA, REO Speedwagon, The Eagles, Dire Straits, The Beatles, Sting, GENESIS, BRYAN ADAMS et Phil Collins gagnera le cœur et l'esprit des milléniaux lorsqu'ils essaieront d'écouter leurs chansons.

  23. T.... ....

    Hysterical. Two multi-millionaires signing about not being a millionaires son...LOL...fucking leftists!

    T.... ....

    I'm sure Capt Bonespurs doesn't like this tune either.

    T.... ....

    @nevets68 Hmmmm, does the Kenyan?

    Goddamm CCR were just special! One of the greatest bands of all time.

    2 draft dodgers that are pretty pathetic singing about non privileged people. This is your typical Liberal Mentality! LMAO!

  33. G.... S....

    Two of the great singer/songwriters of the 20th century on stage together. Wish I had been there.

  34. M.... S....

    Fucking rock and roll dude!

  35. J.... S....

    Little Stephen sure must've felt important here

  36. R.... H....

    Two of the greats doing one of the most real songs ever written about where the U.S. is at.

  37. y.... V....

  54. G.... R....

    Springsteen looks like he has to take a shit lol

  55. N.... ....

    Nothing cooler than a group of musos who have earned their stripes and are masters of their field. Give me this over a bunch of 20 year olds any day of the week.

  56. M.... K....

    They look younger than they look...

  57. R.... A....

    Awesome!

  58. G.... ....

    It would have been super cool if Brian Johnson would have joined them too

  60. d.... d....

    This video is the definition of USA

  62. D.... M....

    Hank Williams? No

  63. T.... T....

    Silvio is what makes this song work.

  64. U.... ....

  70. e.... ....

    Yeah, well, in this case the Boss should've let Fogerty do the singing.

  71. J.... ....

    655 Vietcong put a dislike

  72. C.... R....

    This Great song is a tribute to those whom have worked their life starting from the ground up and have stood up all the time. Hats up for them all. Thanks to John Fogerty, thanks BOSS. I'm no fortunate son...!!!!!!!!!!

  73. J.... B....

    Two of the Best!!! Simply Amazing!!!

  74. T.... T....

    Silvio Dante? Daafuck you doin there!??

  75. B.... T....

    SILVIO, DA FUCK YOU DOIN’ UP THERE?

  76. S.... K....

    Both great voices!!!!!what a combi💪💪💪

  77. S.... D....

    Tony soprano consigliere 🤣

  78. T.... M....

    The “Hank Williams of our generation”...really?...”Proud Mary”, and “Have you ever seen the rain”, are classics and John Fogerty has written some other good but not great songs, but he is no where near the greatness of Hank Williams.

  79. T.... ....

    I can’t help but laugh at them but damn dude it’s a good show they did

    T.... ....

    Trenton why laugh?

  80. S.... K....

    I ain't no Senators son ..I will have to fight and die....... Truer words have never been spoken

  81. M.... ....

    Max killing it on drums as usual.

  90. J.... B....

    The Boss❤

  91. S.... j....

    Spent 2 years in Vietnam. The Korean and Philippine bands always played Fortunate Son. They ended with the Animals, We Got To Get Out Of This Place, which brought the house down.

  92. s.... ....
