Some folks are born to wave the flag
Ooh they're red white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh they point the cannon at you Lord

It ain't me it ain't me I ain't no senator's son son.
It ain't me it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one no
Yeah!

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

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no.

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh,

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

Fortunate Son by John Fogerty (CCR)

This is an amazing anti-war song i heard, although it was written at the time of the vietnam wat it stands true till this day.


Its that time of the year again , exams are on. Two months of memorising absolute crap. But these two months are special for me, because this is the time when I actually get to ponder over things.

So i was thinking, that if we really wanted to end world poverty we could do it. I know it'll sound stupid, but I estimated that United States for example has a population of about 300 million , so if each citizen could just give out a dollar or even 10 , they could raise about 3 billion dollars ( if my math is right , it probably isn't) , yeah so thats just America, if the 10-20 countries with the highest GDP or whatever could do the same thing they could raise about a 50 billion here. Maybe im being to optimistic, but it isn't that hard to believe , collecting from each and every man would be a pain in the ass but hey we have been to the moon* we could figure something out .

Poverty is the only thing that disturbs me these days besides the whole terrorism bullshit , which i think is all made up.

* I believe in the conspiracy theories that the whole man on the moon thing was a hoax.
