[[WMG: The lyrics of "Fortunate Son" from ''Music/WillyAndThePoorBoys'' pertain to multiple wars that America has been involved in and not just Vietnam in particular.]]

Let's break it down:
-->"Some folks are born made to wave the flag" - all\\
Ooh, they're red, white and blue - all\\
"And when the band plays 'Hail to the chief'" - since the Civil War\\
"Ooh, they'll point the cannon at you, Lord" - all, mainly up to the Civil War\\
\\
"It ain't me, it ain't me / I ain't no senator's / millionaire's / military son, son / It ain't me, it ain't me / I ain't no fortunate one, no" - all\\
\\
"Some folks are born silver spoon in hand" - all\\
"Lord, don't they help themselves, oh" - all\\
"But when the taxman comes to the door" - all, particularly the American Revolution\\
"Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes" - all\\
\\
"Some folks inherit star spangled eyes" - all since the War of 1812\\
"Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord" - all\\
"And when you ask them, 'How much should we give?'" - all\\
"Ooh, they'll only answer 'More! more! more!'" - all

[[WMG: Their cover of "Suzie Q" is from the POV of a {{Yandere}}]]

Fogerty pumps his voice through a guitar amp in such a way as to unsettle the listener. It's to establish that the point of view is from a {{yandere}} who is off his rocker and the "say that you'll be true" is his MadnessMantra.
