Just think what vets think when Tweety with 5 deferments, son of a millionaire walks in to Fortunate Son
Some folks are born, made to wave the flag
Ooh, their 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
I ain't no senator's son, 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, 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.

I guess you’ve been in the basement a long time.
Fortunate Son was written in the late 60s and was a hit for CCR.
It’s message was rich kids born with a silver spoon in their mouth had Daddy buy them out of the draft.
Quite the appropriate song for Bonespurs walkon

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!
Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

I know about the song. I played off of it for all those victims that think they lead an unfortunate life because of the silver spooners, and for folks like you who want more stuff given to and done for us to make our lives fortunate, and for the popular songsters who get rich off of their various protest songs.
