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
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
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

No one can sing this song like John.... Sorry bruce
698 neocons disliked this song.
That was f###ing brilliant. Thanks for posting. Cracking rock song. Super lyrics.
Is that max weinberg on the drum?
Man he sings with everybody he's the greatest ever
et c est toujours d actualité
It's sad how relevant this song still is.
he’s still got the voice
Seems like they’ve both been quite fortunate
Fuck ist das sowas von Geile wo sind die Deutschen Fans!!
Manager: ok so how many guitarists do you want tonight
Bruce: yes
Two of the legends of our time .
Pauly Walnuts = 4 years in the Army
Silvio = zero
Best rock n'roll song ever !
John lit up the place , real rock star..
I'm just amazed...and more than a little sad, that people actually dislike this...
Adam then don’t focus on that, if you like that’s good if you don’t like that’s also good.
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.
Lendas viva!!!!
🤘🔥🤘🔥
A giant introducing a MONSTER!!!!yeah!!!!
Ver a estos tremendos monstruos juntos sobre un escenario es una bendición!!!

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.
Hysterical. Two multi-millionaires signing about not being a millionaires son...LOL...fucking leftists!
I'm sure Capt Bonespurs doesn't like this tune either.
@nevets68 Hmmmm, does the Kenyan?
Goddamm CCR were just special! One of the greatest bands of all time.
They're play this at double speed..
Be me..Viet Cong. Hear Fortunate Son coming from the south at increasing volume.
Goosebumps
WOW! I believe John Fogarty can play guitar quite well! DUH! Among other talents he has!
What a moment! So cool to see and hear this!
Two of the best ever.
What an fffin great hook-up!
2 draft dodgers that are pretty pathetic singing about non privileged people. This is your typical Liberal Mentality! LMAO!
Two of the great singer/songwriters of the 20th century on stage together. Wish I had been there.
Fucking rock and roll dude!
Little Stephen sure must've felt important here
Two of the greats doing one of the most real songs ever written about where the U.S. is at.
Que padazos de músicos, DIOS SANTO....
they really work well together, dont understand the dislikes
元CCRのジョンフォガティ懐かしい元気やね!
この曲は映画ダイハードにも出てきたね。
Trojúhelník pod spodním rtem jako Bruce mám, teď ještě vlasy nechat narůst, jako je má Fogerty, a budu pěknej chlap xD
all i can think about now is quagmire.
Just great...this song live with the Boss
Two Legends.🎵☺
Oh my... this is unbelievable!
Oh man, such power... I have goosebumps in places I didn't even know I had skin.
Johnny must be feeling pretty good to be lauded by ‘The Boss.’
The Best 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This guy sings like a 21-year-old. True rockstar, and the best rock vocalist ever.
WELCOME TO NAM BOYS!!
*haves ptds in black hawk*
sehr gut
Oh!!! I want that energy
they sing with their whole soul, heart and body
amazing!
Springsteen looks like he has to take a shit lol
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.
They look younger than they look...
Awesome!
It would have been super cool if Brian Johnson would have joined them too
I’m not really a big Springsteen fan but wow! Rock on and on and on 🤘🏽
This video is the definition of USA
John enseñando a rockandrollear a Bruce 😆
Hank Williams? No
Silvio is what makes this song work.
it ain't me either
Aint no fortunate one...but their kids are
DIE SCHLECHTESTE VERSION ALLER ZEITEN!!!
Oh that sound......
Fuuuuuuck - proof their is a god! The Boss & Fog on the same stage!!!
Springsteen fragged it :-(
Yeah, well, in this case the Boss should've let Fogerty do the singing.
655 Vietcong put a dislike
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...!!!!!!!!!!
Two of the Best!!! Simply Amazing!!!
Silvio Dante? Daafuck you doin there!??
SILVIO, DA FUCK YOU DOIN’ UP THERE?
Both great voices!!!!!what a combi💪💪💪
Tony soprano consigliere 🤣
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.
I can’t help but laugh at them but damn dude it’s a good show they did
Trenton why laugh?
I ain't no Senators son ..I will have to fight and die....... Truer words have never been spoken
Max killing it on drums as usual.
Killer sound 🤘🤘🤘
Springsteen. Gack Gack Gacking. This is just stupid.
Legends!!!
Ultimate N-word
*NAPALM*
Jóia poderosos7😍😍😍
YYYYYEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHH
i think bruce got an rock n roll overdose with this one
My family made so much money from the Vietnam war!
The Boss❤
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.
Raw... doesn't get any better than this . Love it. And yes its 2019.
I would love John Fogerty to cover Freddie Mercury songs!
*Huey Gunships in attack Formation*
In my humble opinion, Great rendition.Probably my favourite!
Ah the Boss and the Fogg - superb.
Pure energy, light and fun. Thank you, John. Thank you, Bruce.
