#ItAintMe
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
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, oh
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer "More! More! More!" yoh
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

This song is about the 99% of society who aren't fortunate enough to dodge the draft. It's about the unlucky ones who get sent to the front lines to fight a war for someone else.
I was watching Mad Men. There was an episode about a kid (18) getting 1-A. But google said only 1 in 10 actually got drafted.
Yep…i know ..all bullshit. And I’m retired military myself.

This song is Anti-war but not Anti-soldier, so this song being associated with the war is actually right. Its the soldiers being ironic and saying: “look at me, i wasnt rich enough to dodge the draft, so here we are”. This song is a coping mechanism for soldiers
Most anti-war songs aren’t anti-soldier. That is a right wing point of view.
It's not just anti-war. It is anti-exploitation.
But it's just a song. Exploitation is still the most evident reality.

Color of Money State of Address made in USA
Going around in circles ( circuits ), chasing after one another for the color of money, taking chances or welfare through inter-connecting passages , crossroads and Windows (MSN) trying to control the animal in one, from the pit of debt of desire, an emotions in the matrix. $
Dollar, Dollar Bills
Pressing the economics further, less than rich is most in debt, an the back bone of the rich, and the flesh and blood for the animal, All in the name of what, property values. The color of money makes people go wild an adds to its fire. Let me give it to you in other terms, terms you can understand. They cut it like Bolvin coca, Afghani opium and Libyan oil, cut like silver and gold. Lords that have strings tied to the money, an every dollar in its web, hooking the foolish fish in the sea into its financial threshold.
Bending indexes, the color of money, dollars, dollar bills and currencies on a spectrum in a temple dimension, attracting interest . A twenty/eighty cut is knot well/fare, it cuts like a knife, a double edge sword, it gives with one and takes with two, we want face value, the whole in one, par , one over one, knot promises or the color of money, that s blinding you.
" O say can you see," ... the twilight...
Blind and color blind? So cover your eyes, and listen," and listen to your sub conscious . Its a figment of your imagination that's running wild like a bull, a shift to red , so let me give you the 20/20, the whole 9/1/1 doppler tax free fix, in the city that never sleeps. Its supply and demand. They build it up and take them down , and the penny is losing one for everyone made. The nickel cant hold its weight , but its losing, an its face value is deceiving the public eye, so save what you can .
They cant afford it or don't have it to give away, nor can they make anymore, Its coming from the blood that is spilling from the holes in ones pocket and clothing, and the bodies that are falling. Desire is working ten times harder for ten times less and buying things ten times over exhausting its horns and pleasures. At the end of the sale, and day , after all the hands have taken a pinch out of the dollar , dollar bill, one is paying with the bottom dollar, and by the time it gets home to its family, its taxed for the waste, so save what you can.
Either way I, the self, put it , between the differences , it gives one the sum of the hole, the color of money and the same sum and truth ,the wholesumtruth. Now that the money can be made at home , it does not give one the right to cut it out of a sheet of metal and stamp it with a dye, or (DIO ?), " O, Alice, your the Greatest ", its de-facing the value . " Its not what your country can do for you , but what you can do for your country." " We the people", put our trust in the government, ( each other), to provide honest scales and due process, but those who aren't themselves are favoring one side, one side of the scale, the dark side, even though the wind is not for sale, it gives one direction and shows the way , an only a fool doesn't pay attention to signs, lining its pockets , the holes in its clothing with the blood on its hands. Those who live by it , live by the dollar , dollar bill , fall by it, and those who trust in it, give its power and right over their lives, ( soul) . " O, say can you see"
The only one who cares for a title, is lost and needs to be found, an in need of a personality, the individual, and needed to be served with love and sincerity. The servant , common worker, the confidence and capital from whom has a title paid for, is free of, and develops its independence from a co-dependent sovereign and shadow government. " O say, can you see"... the twilight...
They promise them heaven, a spot in the light an all they can eat, and give them hell for it, leaving them to the wicked , emotional trials and shadows , silhouettes that have no eyes , but still can see. So ," Take down these walls". " Four score and seven"
We were given stripes , color and life , light for a conscious , a lamp of knowledge (law) , a guiding light, and land to harvest. The brave to boycott, pro/test, protest in writing; Declare Independence, and reveal the truth and reap what's sowed. Fear not, fear only one-self , "we are not left to live under ourselves " , we have been brought to consciousness , life, and Yahweh ( Jah e vah ) (יהוה ) . Compose yourselves, bring yourselves together, because no matter how much one celebrates it will not raise the dead, nor bring back those who have passed, and neither free one from the misery and trial its been living.
" O , say can you see..." " The fault is not in the stars , but in ourselves."

@@brettlockhart3535yeah when my brother and me played the game fot the first time and got to that vietnam war mission and heard this song we lost our shit
Yeah it's an anti-war song and people twisted it into a war anthem / patriotic anthem
that's why it's the most loved and ironic song in the usa. it's used to portray gearing up for war in a lot of movie scenes and now this song has been associated with war. like how the west calls a tissue a Kleenex. (even though kleenex is a brand)
54 years later, this song is still perfect
Yes west still pushing young men in the name of "democracy"
It's because it's still an issue. The rich pay no taxes and use people as cannon fodder in wars to enrich themselves. The military industrial complex has this country since the civil war, but you could make a case for the revolution being rich "founding fathers" getting others to fight a war for them so they wouldn't pay taxes. Whipping the common man into a frenzy so they can die so that you can have "a little more".
I still remember when a republican kid said, "I used to listen to your music, but I can't listen to you guys (rage against the machine) but I can't listen because your message has changed."
And they answered him, "what machine did you think we were raging against?"
The only thing which has never changed is that there will always be idiots who are willing to throw away their lives so that rich politicians get fat.
Every president during that Era ran on a platform to remove us from Vietnam. Strange that it continued for over 20 years. Same as Iraq, Afghanistan, now Ukraine. Etc, Etc... and the machine continues to grind.
It is horrifying that 54 years later this song is still relevant. After 20 years of sending our sons and daughters to war, wasting blood and treasure. We still live in a country that wastes the lives of young poor people. So that rich people can have their wars.

I'm from the Bay Area and moved to Florida 2 years ago. Bucket list of things to do before I left was visit the Fogerty childhood home. So I lived in Berkeley, it was in El Cerrito (neighboring cities). But the Bay Area can be VERY VERY hilly. Anywho, was a warm day and I was following my maps and I stopped and sat on the curb. A guy said you don't look great can I get you a glass of water. I said sure. We chatted, he was a vet, and it turns out he was in Fogerty's high school class. Remember that day fondly.
now that is a very cool story
Amazing how God puts things together!

For those people that don't know the meaning behind this song it is about the drafting system during the Vietnam war that if you came from and richer family or went to college you were less likely to be drafted hints the terms "I aint no senators son"

@@ClutchSituation the song is just about the inadequacy of the US draft lottery system and how the poor and minorities had no chance of avoiding Vietnam as they couldnt afford to get a college voucher, or attend officer school, or have their family payout to avoid. Also getting drafted meant marine corps for the most part which wasn't ideal, most of my family that drew low numbers volunteered so they could have some control.
This song is not anti war but it wasn’t pro military either it was pro troops and pro veterans and is about the fact that the good young men that fight are poor and how the rich are not the ones fighting so you’re wrong.

@@mainaccount7519 I guess they wanted to show the regular people.

Several years ago I was teaching The Great Gatsby in a high school English class, and a student asked me why Tom Buchanan didn't go to WWI when Gatsby did. When I said, "Traditionally the rich don't go to war," several students were flabbergasted. When I explained the many ways the rich could easily get out of the draft when the poor could not...well, it was a light bulb moment.
That’s effective teaching.
That certainly wasn't the case on the front line, especially from the UK. The nobility had a strong military history, still do, with the sons of even the monarch serving in the armed forces. The upper class lost proportionately far more sons in WWI, both with the military service tradition, and the fact that mainly as officers they would be the first to lead the "charge".

Even though it was a couple of decades before I was born, the Vietnam war was unjustified based on what I've read about it. It was almost like the Americans didn't know what they were afraid of. Don't get me wrong, war is a horrible thing. However, as a Brit I know that military intervention has been required in some circumstances over the years, whether it be us going all in against the Germans to protect our skies in 1942 or, more recently, us merely supplying the Ukrainians with tanks in 2022 to help them fend off the Russians. Whether it's active, like my first historical example, or passive, like my second, no military intervention is pleasant by any means. It's just countries doing what needs to be done in the name of national security, and let me here say that, from what I've read about the Vietnam war, it was actually the Vietnamese who were the good guys. America brought that shit on themselves.

STOLEN JOKE TIME: When your anti-war anthem becomes the theme song of the war you're protesting.
A lot of the American soldiers in Vietnam didn't want to be there, so it makes sense that they would be listening to anti-war songs while in a war.
@@Epic-pf8od yeah not everyone can afford to be missdiagnosed to avoid drafts
@@Epic-pf8od A LOT of people miss that point. The subtle context is lost on them.
@@Craig_Narramoore even better lol
I've seen people use the term "recuperation" to describe this. The system takes criticism, and attempts to twist that criticism into endorsement.
In this case, a song openly critical of American involvement in the Vietnam War was co-opted as the war's unofficial anthem. Sort of like how people view Springsteen's song "Born in the USA" as a patriotic anthem, without ever listening to the lyrics.
It could almost be argued that this sort of music became a "pressure release valve" for anti-war sentiment. A way to let people think "well I don't support the war, think about all the protest songs I listen to, but I'm not going to actually go DO anything about it..."
Of course, many people DID go out & do things about it, so it's not like protest songs have ever replaced actual activism. In many ways, protest songs just spread their author's message. So maybe that "recuperation" thing isn't as effective as you might think.
Can’t believe they created a war just for this song
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Hoo, 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

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no furtunate one, no
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand

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
Hoo, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Hoo, they only answer, "More, more, more, more"
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, son, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, one

Color of Money State of Address made in USA
Going around in circles ( circuits ), chasing after one another for the color of money, taking chances or welfare through inter-connecting passages , crossroads and Windows (MSN) trying to control the animal in one, from the pit of debt of desire, an emotions in the matrix. $
Dollar, Dollar Bills
Pressing the economics further, less than rich is most in debt, an the back bone of the rich, and the flesh and blood for the animal, All in the name of what, property values. The color of money makes people go wild an adds to its fire. Let me give it to you in other terms, terms you can understand. They cut it like Bolvin coca, Afghani opium and Libyan oil, cut like silver and gold. Lords that have strings tied to the money, an every dollar in its web, hooking the foolish fish in the sea into its financial threshold.
Bending indexes, the color of money, dollars, dollar bills and currencies on a spectrum in a temple dimension, attracting interest . A twenty/eighty cut is knot well/fare, it cuts like a knife, a double edge sword, it gives with one and takes with two, we want face value, the whole in one, par , one over one, knot promises or the color of money, that s blinding you.
" O say can you see," ... the twilight...
Blind and color blind? So cover your eyes, and listen," and listen to your sub conscious . Its a figment of your imagination that's running wild like a bull, a shift to red , so let me give you the 20/20, the whole 9/1/1 doppler tax free fix, in the city that never sleeps. Its supply and demand. They build it up and take them down , and the penny is losing one for everyone made. The nickel cant hold its weight , but its losing, an its face value is deceiving the public eye, so save what you can .
They cant afford it or don't have it to give away, nor can they make anymore, Its coming from the blood that is spilling from the holes in ones pocket and clothing, and the bodies that are falling. Desire is working ten times harder for ten times less and buying things ten times over exhausting its horns and pleasures. At the end of the sale, and day , after all the hands have taken a pinch out of the dollar , dollar bill, one is paying with the bottom dollar, and by the time it gets home to its family, its taxed for the waste, so save what you can.
Either way I, the self, put it , between the differences , it gives one the sum of the hole, the color of money and the same sum and truth ,the wholesumtruth. Now that the money can be made at home , it does not give one the right to cut it out of a sheet of metal and stamp it with a dye, or (DIO ?), " O, Alice, your the Greatest ", its de-facing the value . " Its not what your country can do for you , but what you can do for your country." " We the people", put our trust in the government, ( each other), to provide honest scales and due process, but those who aren't themselves are favoring one side, one side of the scale, the dark side, even though the wind is not for sale, it gives one direction and shows the way , an only a fool doesn't pay attention to signs, lining its pockets , the holes in its clothing with the blood on its hands. Those who live by it , live by the dollar , dollar bill , fall by it, and those who trust in it, give its power and right over their lives, ( soul) . " O, say can you see"
The only one who cares for a title, is lost and needs to be found, an in need of a personality, the individual, and needed to be served with love and sincerity. The servant , common worker, the confidence and capital from whom has a title paid for, is free of, and develops its independence from a co-dependent sovereign and shadow government. " O say, can you see"... the twilight...
They promise them heaven, a spot in the light an all they can eat, and give them hell for it, leaving them to the wicked , emotional trials and shadows , silhouettes that have no eyes , but still can see. So ," Take down these walls". " Four score and seven"
We were given stripes , color and life , light for a conscious , a lamp of knowledge (law) , a guiding light, and land to harvest. The brave to boycott, pro/test, protest in writing; Declare Independence, and reveal the truth and reap what's sowed. Fear not, fear only one-self , "we are not left to live under ourselves " , we have been brought to consciousness , life, and Yahweh ( Jah e vah ) (יהוה ) . Compose yourselves, bring yourselves together, because no matter how much one celebrates it will not raise the dead, nor bring back those who have passed, and neither free one from the misery and trial its been living.
" O , say can you see..." " The fault is not in the stars , but in ourselves."

I mean a lot of people were drafted, just because they were serving doesn't it was them ya feel me. But either way ya lmao I hear this song and I think hueys and m80s firing in trees and I'm only 23 lmfao
How is that task failed?
The Vietnam war is by and large considered an atrocity on all fronts that the US should have never been involved in. Any depiction of the war outside of Call of Duty's tone deafness is pure negativity. Nothing good lead up to it, nothing good happened during it, nothing good was achieved out of it.
The song is equally about the poor souls that had no choice but to go there and the "Fortunate son"s that got to avoid it.
@@ymir6286 Exactly, well said. The exact reason this song was such an anthem Vietnam war related films is because those films were overtly anti Vietnam war films. Those films may have shown action, but the take away message was a bunch of people dying for a immoral cause often forced to kill or be killed by their own government.
this song is talking about the draftees who didn’t get deferments because of their family or fortune. That’s why vets love it and why it’s used in the anti war movement and the movies about nam

Hi from South Africa
We will never recover from Vietnam. I was born in 1960. People that have ever talked about a third world War? We have been in it since the towers went down
The Mussad’s fingerprints are all over it. They are doing everything they can to drag us into WWIII. That’s why every chance they get they blame Iran. They want Iran
