Song: "Fortunate Son"Artist: Creedence Clearwater RevivalAnti-war"Fortunate Son" is considered an anti-war song because it criticizes the privilege and inequality in the draft system during the Vietnam War era. The lyrics speak against the idea that wealthy or influential individuals could avoid the draft, leaving the burden of fighting on less privileged Americans. The song's chorus, "It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son!" emphasizes this message of frustration and criticism towards the war and its handling by the government.
