4. Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival
The Vietnam Era produced an excellent catalog of rebellious songs, none better than this 1969 classic. It decries nepotism in government, as well as blind nationalism. It even makes an allusion to the loathed taxman.
Best libertarian lyric: “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.”
