I ain't no senator's son, son
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, y'all
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah
It ain't me
It ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
It ain't me
It ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Yeah, yeah
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer "More! More! More!", Y'all
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

Sounds like your life is very unfortunate--thanks for letting us know from your iPhone/Mobile device. The vast majority of us who aren't born with a silver spoon feel fortunate to be alive. We do OK. But there are charities to help you out. No one has to go hungry. Even the government will help you out for a while. At least until you can get rich off of writing more songs about how unfortunate you are.
