Won't Get Fooled Again Lyrics

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 won'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, History just ain't changed, 'Cause the banners, they're all 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 won't get fooled again! I'll move myself and my family aside, If we just happen to be left half alive. I'll get all my papers and I smile at the sky, For I know that the hypnotised never lie. There's nothing in the street That looks any different to me. And the slogans are replaced by-the-by. 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, Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday. Then I'll get on my knees and pray, We won't get fooled again! Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss!
