Trump arriving at recent rally in Michigan to the tune of “Fortunate Son” https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1304195354372562947?s=20

Some folks are born,
Made to wave the flag,
Oh, they're red, whit and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",
They point the cannon right at you.

It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no senator's son.
It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no fortunate one.

Some folks are born
Silver spoon in hand,
Lord don't they help themselves.
But when the tax man comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale.

It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no millionaire's son.
It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no fortunate one.
Hi
Some folks inherit
Star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war.
And when you ask them,
"How much should we give?"
They only answer "More! More! More!"

It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no military son.
It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no fortunate one.

It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no Fortunate Son.

Good friend of mine got married to "hallelujah" (Rufus Weinwright version no less). She of course never read the lyrics

Remember that the marks have a military-grade lack of self-awareness. (Or any other awareness for that matter)

What's strange in the Militaristic Republic of America is that when invading other countries they claim patriotism, support our troops shit.

The kind of people who would actually listen to lyrics aren't ever gonna vote for him anyway.

I think this one was intentional. It fits his pretending to be a self made man fighting for the little man.

Guessing he didn't get permission to play this song either and will be receiving a cease and desist letter soon.

A lot of Trump supporters view all politicians as warmongers who wrap themselves in flags. To them this song represents traditional 1/2

politicians. To them Trump is anti establishment and he is the one who won’t start a war and actually cares about America 2/2

I think they just hate the political process so much that they will blindly follow someone anti establishment. 3/2

irony is too long of word for Trump and his followers to understand the meaning.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Okay, so Trump is nowhere near intelligent enough to get this, but there are definitely people on Trump's staff who know what's up.

He did play it’s the end of the world as we know it by REM at a rally in 2016. So are we really surprised.

Yeah, it's too obvious. Somebody knew exactly what this song was about and is intentionally ragging on him.

"How much should we give?" They only answer "More! More! More!" is a clear reference to the Dems and their socialist taxes, obviously.

Unfortunately you do need the /s now. This is tame compared to some things I've seen that are 100% serious.

I do tend to ignore the lizard people, but I will def use /s from now on. Good to know some people understands without prompting though

It's safest to tag sarcasm with /s. I got it, but evidently it was not sufficiently clear for some.

5 years ago | Likes 32 Dislikes 0

I honestly don't know if I should laugh or cry, I thought it was so obvious I didn't need a /s. Oh well, you live, you learn.

The "obviously" at the end is the giveaway. Before that I *really* wasn't sure. Just the times we live in I guess

Haven't you seen? Trump plays whatever the fuck he wants, and when the band tries to sue, nothing happens.

5 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Generally, venues have a library of stuff they can play irrespective of the artist's specific wishes. Those lawsuits are long shots, afaik.

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I mean, public domain stuff I would imagine, yeah. But they don't own the rights to back in black, surely they have no right to play it.

The idea was for people to think, John who? And then actually look for info on CCR and John Fogerty.

Then they’d find out that Zaentz screwed him out of all his publishing rights, so it wouldn’t matter what he thinks anyway.
