📝 Song Summary & Meaning

"Fortunate Son" is one of the most iconic anti-war protest songs of the Vietnam War era. It was written by John Fogerty in response to the growing divide between the working-class Americans drafted to fight in the war and the wealthy elite ("fortunate sons") who often avoided service through privilege or connections.

🎤 Lyrics highlight:
“It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son...”



The song criticizes hypocrisy, especially among politicians and wealthy families who supported war but didn’t personally bear its cost. It became a powerful anthem for anti-establishment and anti-war movements, especially during the late 1960s and early 1970s
