Detailed explanation-1: -With lyrics penned by John Fogerty, “Fortunate Son” takes a jab at the rich and privileged who were exempt from being drafted into the military because of their status. It’s a song for the everyday, common man who disagreed with the war but may have been forced to fight in it when their number was called.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fogerty added that he’s “issuing a ‘cease and desist’ order.” Fogerty went on to explain that “Fortunate Son” is ironically an anti-war-movement anthem that criticizes privileged people who used their money and status to defer from the Vietnam War draft.
Detailed explanation-3: -It was previously released as a single, together with “Down on the Corner", in September 1969. It soon became an anti-war movement anthem and an expressive symbol of the counterculture’s opposition to U.S. military involvement in the Vietnam War and solidarity with the soldiers fighting it.
