Fortunate Son / Rockin' in the Free World Lyrics

Fortunate son

Some folks are born, made to wear the flag
Oh, they're red, white and blue
And when they play: "hail to the c***f"
Oh, they point the cannon at you
It ain't me, it ain't me; i'm no fortunate son
It ain't me, it ain't me; i'm no fortunate one

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves
And when the taxman knocks on their door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yeah yeah

It ain't me, it ain't me; i'm no fortunate son
It ain't me, it ain't me; i'm no millionaire's son, no no

Some folks are born, star spangled eyes
Oh, they send you out to war
And when australia asks, "how much do we give?"
Oh, they just ask for more and more and more and more and more, yeah!

It ain't me, it ain't me; i'm no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; i'm no fortunate one, one one
It ain't me, it ain't me; i ain't no cia's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me; i'm no fortunate son, son son

RIFW
There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan but I am to them
So I try to forget it any way I can

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
That will never go to school
Never get to fall in love
Never get to be cool
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn got roads to drive

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
