Bring them home, bring them home...I may be right, I may be wrong...But I got a right to sing this song..."

Fortunate Son is an anti-Vietnam war song saying that not everyone is "meant to" go off and fight in the war.

A section of the song days, "Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue."

This helps to prove the point that not everyone is meant to go off to war but usually the poor and people who couldn't afford to go to college and to go off to war, and wave the flag and fight for their country. However, the rich that could afford to go to college were able to get out of going to the war, henceforth, they weren't meant to "wave the flag".
