Some folks are born Made to wave the flag They're red, white and blue And when the band plays Hail To The Chief They point the cannon at you, Lord 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, no 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 look like a rummage sale It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no millionaire's son It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, no Some folks inherit Star spangled eyes They send you down to war, Lord And when you ask them How much should we give? They only answer More, more, more It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no military son It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, no It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, no It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate son, no

Foi lançada como single no final de 1969.
John Fogerty a escreveu como protesto contra a Guerra do Vietnã.
A canção critica os “filhos afortunados” de políticos e da elite que evitam o combate.
Fogerty se inspirou indiretamente em David Eisenhower, bisneto de Dwight e casado com a filha de Richard Nixon em 1968.
Fogerty foi convocado e serviu seis meses em bases militares nos EUA.
