Fortunate Son

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 No soy hijo de un senador Yo no fui, yo no soy I ain't no senator's son, no Some folks are born with silver spoon in hand Lord, don't they help themselves, oh But when the taxman comes to the door Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes It ain't me, yo no soy I ain't no millionaire's son, no Yo no fui, yo no soy I ain't no fortunate one, no Oh no Yo no fui, yo no soy I ain't no senator's son, no Yo le digo que no soy hijo De un senador, ese Sam no es mi tío Tirando bombas y dando drama Yo creo en las cosas que me enseñó mi mamá And I believe in the words But I don't know if the actions speak louder Than all the things I heard I'm not saying that I've never been proud The history we made together, look at us now I always wanted it to come together But it's so difficult when we're fighting each other I'm looking out my window and my street's on fire They try to separate us, step on us just to get higher We're under the gun, let the bullets fly And our soldiers survive, they come back to die How can we love one another if we don't even try? They say they love us but inside I know that it's a lie It ain't me, it ain't me No soy hijo de un senador Yo no fui, yo no soy I ain't no senator's son, no It ain't me, yo no soy I ain't no millionaire's son, no Yo no fui, yo no soy I ain't no fortunate one, no Yo no soy hijo de un senador Trabajo, lucho una vida mejor They stop and harass us, they trap us, they put us in boxes They slammin' the door no more But I never wanted it to be this way Keep my head up and I do it for my family Y yo sigo pa' adelante, no me van a parar No me importa lo que pase, no me voy a cansar It ain't me, yo no soy I ain't no millionaire's son, no Yo no fui, yo no soy I ain't no fortunate one, no
