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
