Won't get Fooled Again
The Who
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone.
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song.
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution,
Take a bow for the new revolution,
Smile and grin at the change all around,
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday,
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again!
The change, it had to come.
We knew it all along.
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war.
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution,
Take a bow for the new revolution,
Smile and grin at the change all around,
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday,
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again!
No, no!
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive.
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie.
Do ya?
Yeah!
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced by-the-by
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight.
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution,
Take a bow for the new revolution,
Smile and grin at the change all around,
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday,
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again! Don't get fooled again!
No, no!
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss.
