Lyrics to Fortunate Son – What are they saying is the nature of the Vietnam War for Americans? What does a song like this say about The America of the 1960’s?

“Some folks are born made 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”
