[Verse 1] Some men are born beneath the flag With stars shining in their eyes And when the marching drums begin They send the young ones off to fight [Chorus] It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no captain's son, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't one of the chosen ones [Verse 2] Some men are born with gold to spare With silver shining in their hands They build their walls and count their wealth While others die to save their land [Chorus] It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no tycoon's son, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't one of the lucky ones [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Yeah, some men sit behind the lines While others face the guns They talk about glory, honor and pride But never send their own sons [Chorus] It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no general's son, Lord It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't one of the chosen ones It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't one of the lucky ones, no, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no It ain't me, it ain't me
