Song of the Day: Fortunate Son

Creedence Clearwater Revival Fortunate Son Willy And The Poor Boys Lyrics: 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, I ain't no senator's son, son.
