Santana - 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

Santana Fortunate Son Comments
A vinda inteira ouvindo Santana e Creed/Scott Stapp e fui descobrir hoje Relíquia.
LOVE, LOVE.....Did I mention I love this album?!!!!!!
Absolutely love this!!!
Nice all the way, Carlos takes a song and puts the right spice on it. Awesome!
My problem with this cover is that the arrangement totally misses the point of what John Fogerty was trying to convey. It sounded too cheesy in my ears, unlike the raw passion of the CCR original.
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no passionate born, no, no...
ESTO ES PURA MIERDA....EN INGLES: THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT
guitar heaven cd a santana masterpiece been listening to it since it came out six years ago scott stapp a very good choice for this ccr classic as I love creed no matter what the hater trollers say as there will always be hating trollers in not a sheep I dont follow anybody I like what I like even if its unpopular to do so
I'm pretty sure Love, Devotion, Surrender was the last cool thing Carlos Santana did, back in 1973.
73 was prime santana, not a better year in fact, bet plenty of cool records after that Festival, Moonflower, Blues For Salvador, and Milagro all pretty cool, this is just utter garbage, oh yes and Spirits Dancing in The Flesh another good one, this is guitar heaven crap is liked by mostly teens and twenty somethings
im a fan of creed thats why scott stapp is the best for me fuck all the haters
Never seen so much haters lol
As far as covers go, I'd have to say Bob Seger did this song a lot more justice.
You all can hate on this as much as you like... I'm quite enjoying this cover! In fact I'd say I love it!
its a cover what did you expect?
Vaya versión tan sabrosona, potente y alivianada que se aventó el maestro Santana, de esta rolota legendaria. Pónganse a bailar cabritos gordos!
No mame abuelo
No confusion here at all. The 6 months that have ensued since my previous post have ony served to enhance my opinion that this one of the worst, ill conceived albums ever made. It is truly atrocious.
I am a Carlos admirer of over 40 years, but if he has run out of ideas as well as the fire and passion he once had, then I see no point in him recording any more.
Its been a stream records of the same repetitive 'Carlos' fills over boring duets.
Then this dross ..
i am a hughe Carlos-fan and i do not like it. The Original is the only one, it it simpel, straightforward. Carlos is the best but this just don`t fit
what if carlos did 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago!? damn that would be a hit
"faith in human nature has been shattered" coming from the person who manages to confuse not liking a song with a song actually being bad.
why... i just ask why
whole album just so useless all songs are so much worse than the orginals and they don't have the feeling orginal versions have
don't get me wrong santana is an awesome guitar player and i love his early songs but this is not good
Fucking Master Carlos Santana!
El puto amo!!
Y quien diga lo contrario no tiene ni puta idea, para que engañarnos. You know?
Atrocious. Beyond awful. I can't believe something this horrendous exists. I'm going straight to the CCR original so I can stop convulsing.
I dont know whats worse. This godawful song OR the fact that my faith in human nature has been shattered by the fact that some people think this is good.
Scott Stapp kind of sux! The whole thing is cheesy...needs some grit
BFBC2: VIETNAM FTW :) CRANK THIS UP IN DAA HUEY BOYZ AYE? lol
Stapp is buried in the mix during a lot of this version, It's all pretty muddy. And I completely disagree that it's better than CCR. The original is one of those songs I've never gotten tired of hearing after 40 years and there are a LOT that I'll change the channel on.
Scott Stapp best vocal of all time!
If you listen to the whole song it comes in at 16 seconds...
ahahahaha i acually laughed out loud
I found this from a thread about awful covers. I agree.
This is so bad it ruins the original
What the hell is this? What happened to the real music Santana used to make? Oh wait, they never made music!
ruined the song
@thedyl9287 Is there a problem with stapp?
LEZ GO STAPP!!!
2:30 STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
It sounds like Scott Stapp doing a parody of himself...
Scott Stapp doesn't sound angry enough. lol
I love Santana's guitar work as usual, but it doesn't have any of the anger or sincerity that the original one did...
Scott Stapp é o cara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i can feel scott stapp's FAT FACE thru the speakers
Scott Stapp? Why Santana, why!?
Pretty cool but I miss the background riff that makes this songs so strong. And I miss the voice of foggerty of even Bob seger.
