It was not a protest song it was a critique of David Eisenhower who was married to Nixon's daughter (among others including a few senators' draft eligible sons).
Fogerty and the others served so IMO they have every right to say what they do.

wasn't this song a protest to Vietnam?

Some folks are born 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,
Yeah!

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,

ชอบมากๆ ครับ...

graham is right

You are all wrong. This song has nothing to do with race but instead the Vietnam War. He is saying that he isn't privileged enough to skip the draft. He references to being no senators son and no fortunate one. He also says he wasn't born with a silver spoon in hand and is not a millionaires son. Unlike George W. Bush who served in the Coast Guard during the Vietnam War because of his father's connections.

graham no1 cares wat it really is dumbass you dont have to be so litteral ok dillhole sock face?so go blow your mom and finger your dad, ass-hair licker
