lyrics

Fortunate Son

Where is the fortunate son
his daddy swallowed a gun
the market crashed
and when he lost the cash
they say he lost it all

Where is the fortunate son
who always had his way to pay for all those toys
now that they're lost
how much will it cost
for him to learn to hate

Where is the fortunate son
now that the middle class is gone
and we're still poor
worse off than before
when we were miserable

I wish to God that I could see
why this is happening to me
am I slave or am I free
whatever happened to the dream

Where is the fortunate son
the war ain't over don't he know it's just begun
we need his pride
things are bad outside
and they're just getting worse

Where is the fortunate son
will he sing a song for everyone
sing us the blues
coins around his shoes
we'll say he rose again

I wish to God that I could see
why this is happening to me
am I slave or am I free
whatever happened to the dream
