Won't Get Fooled Again Lyrics

 (Townshend)
 
 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
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?
 
 There's nothing in the streets
 Looks any different to me
 And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
 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!
 
 Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
 
 Meet the new boss
 Same as the old boss
