Won't Get Fooled Again

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 judgment 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 me Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday And I'll get on my knees and pray

We don't get fooled again 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 all flown in the last 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 me Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday And 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 For I know that the hypnotized never lie

Do ya? Yeah

There's nothing in the street Looks any different to me And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye

And the parting on the left Is now the 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 me Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday And 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
