[Verse 1]
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Oh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
Oh, they point the cannon at you
[Chorus]
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
[Verse 2]
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale
[Chorus]
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionairе's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate onе
[Instrumental]
